The Golden State Warriors are doing everything they can to avoid a Game 7 against the Houston Rockets. But no one is pushing harder to finish the job in six than Stephen Curry. The toll it’s taking on him? It hasn’t gone unnoticed—especially by Ayesha Curry.
For much of this season, Steph has quietly battled a lingering injury to his shooting hand—specifically, his right thumb. You may have caught glimpses of the splint during games or seen him icing it in postgame pressers. But true to form, Curry hasn’t made a fuss. He’s played through the pain, never letting it become an excuse.
He’s been suffering in silence. But as the stakes get higher and the physicality ramps up, the concern—especially from those closest to him—is starting to show.
Only a few probably know how bad it truly is for Steph. And his wife, and high school sweetheart, Ayesha Curry, seems to be one of them. As he made his way through the tunnel, he seemed to approach Ayesha—cameras caught a glimpse of her as she looked really worried about Steph. What’s worse is that Steph’s body language didn’t inspire confidence in things being okay, either. He had his head down as he approached Ayesha, looking a little dejected.
