Steph and Ayesha Curry pledge meal donation for children during coronavirus school closures

Stephen and Ayesha Curry’s Eat. Learn. Play. foundation announces a food donation for out of school children during the coronavirus pandemic.

Stephen Curry was slated to play in his second game back from a broken hand injury on Thursday night against the Brooklyn Nets. However, games at Chase Center in San Francisco are currently on hold.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the NBA has suspended the 2019-20 season until further notice. Leagues going on hiatus may take over headlines in the sports world, yet the impact of COVID-19 stretches much farther than basketball.

While schools across the Bay Area are closing down due to the threat of coronavirus, the Curry family is trying to help. Stephen and Ayesha Curry announced their Eat. Learn. Play. foundation will make a food donation to aid out of school children.

Via @StephenCurry30:

Eat. Learn. Play is working with the Alameda County Community Food Bank and the Oakland Unified School District to ensure every child who relies on their school system for food will be getting breakfast and lunch.

The Currys are calling for others to join their pledge.

We’re trying to do our part, and hopefully, you can join the fight with us and have each other’s backs as we go through this uncertain time in our community.

Steph and Ayesha Curry approve of the new All-Star Game format

Ayesha Curry posted an Instagram story of her and Steph enjoying the new format in the 2020 All-Star Game.

The NBA took a bold, yet innovative approach to the 2020 All-Star Game. Each quarter of the game, the score reset. Between Team Giannis and Team Lebron, the winner of each period won $100,000 donated to the charity of their choice.

In the fourth and final quarter, there was no clock as the teams played to a total instead of time. The leading group, after three quarters, added 24 points to their score total, and that was the goal to end the game.

At the end of the third quarter in 2020, Team Giannis led 133-124, making the game-winning total 157. The final period turned into a pick-up style battle. Both teams traded blows with Team Lebron rallying back to seal the 157-156 win on an Anthony Davis free throw.

The format provided a higher level of intensity to the exhibition game, especially in the fourth quarter, stamping the change successful.
Yet, there was still something missing from the new version of the NBA All-Star Game.

For the first time in years, the Golden State Warriors did not have a member represented in the game. Both of Golden State’s perineal All-Stars, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson have combined to miss almost the entire 2019-20 season due to injury. However, even injured, Curry finished in the top-10 of Western Conference guard voting.

Although Curry wasn’t available to play in the new construction, the six-time NBA All-Star weighed in on the matter with excitement. Ayesha Curry posted an Instagram story with her husband watching the All-Star Game.

Both members of the Curry family approved of the new format of the game.

Curry is still recovering from his broken hand injury, but reports point towards a March return. If Curry can hit his return target, the Warriors will have around 20 games left this season with their two-time Most Valuable Player.

Once fully healthy next season, Curry will have the opportunity to participate in the new and entertaining All-Star Game setup.
