Seth Curry, Stephen Curry’s younger brother and former Golden State Warrior, publicly criticized his old team’s front office following another painful loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. The former guard, who played just 10 games last season due to nagging injuries, took to Threads to address the shocking decision to start two-way player Graham Ike. “With all due respect to Ike. A 2-way starting for the dubs in game 2 is tough,” Curry wrote, a sentiment that resonated with a fanbase increasingly frustrated by the team’s defensive vulnerabilities.
Former Warrior’s blunt Threads post highlights Golden State’s desperate roster crisis
The Warriors’ center position has become a point of severe concern following Kristaps Porzingis’ sudden departure from the organization, compounded by injuries to Charles Bassey and Al Horford’s limited availability on back-to-backs due to back issues. This roster depletion left the team undersized and vulnerable, a fact starkly illustrated by Ike’s performance on Friday. The 6’9″ undrafted rookie out of Gonzaga, who signed a two-way deal on Sept. 22, posted the lowest plus-minus of all Warriors starters at -16, highlighting the defensive gap the team is currently facing.
Despite the negative defensive metrics, Ike did capitalize on the rare offensive opportunity, scoring 10 points on 4-of-? shooting while hitting two three-pointers. However, his individual effort could not mask the broader structural issues plaguing the squad. Seth Curry’s public commentary serves as a sharp reminder of the depth crisis Golden State is navigating, as the organization scrambles to find a solution for a position that has become a critical liability in their quest for playoff contention.
