Seth Curry didn’t just step back onto an NBA floor Tuesday night — he detonated a long-awaited moment that instantly electrified the Warriors, jolted the Bay Area, and reignited a storyline no one saw coming. After years of carving his own path far from his brother’s shadow, Seth walked back into the Chase Center spotlight and delivered a performance that felt less like a debut and more like a declaration. And then, just hours later, he hit “post” on Instagram and sent fans scrambling to decode the emotion behind two simple words: “Felt Like Home!”
Curry, 35, officially re-signed with Golden State on Monday and wasted no time reminding the league that he still has plenty left in the tank. His season debut — and his first NBA appearance since April with the Hornets — came in a tough loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. But the result almost didn’t matter. The story was Seth: calm, composed, and instantly dangerous. In just 18 minutes, he racked up 14 points on a ridiculous 6-of-7 shooting clip, including 2-of-3 from deep — the kind of ruthless efficiency that once made him one of the league’s most respected role players.
“I’ve been waiting to get on this floor for a while now,” he told reporters, still visibly charged from the moment. He admitted the nerves were real, but the crowd wiped them away the second he checked in. “The fans showed me a lot of love… making my first shot kind of eased the pressure. And then from there, I’m just playing basketball.”
But beneath the numbers and the quotes, something bigger is brewing. This is the first time since 2009 — the year Steph entered the league — that both Curry brothers call the Bay Area home at the same time. And with Steph currently rehabbing a quad injury and targeting a return on December 12, the possibility of a Curry-Curry backcourt moment at Chase Center is already becoming one of the most anticipated scenes of the Warriors’ season.
Seth also acknowledged the challenge of his first game coming against the defending champions, but even that didn’t faze him. “We’re figuring stuff out… it’s my first game with this team,” he said. “But in that second half, we played good basketball.”
What’s even more intriguing is what comes next. Seth won’t play in front of the home crowd again until Dec. 12 — the exact night Steph is expected to return. The Chase Center could see not just a reunion, but a storyline wrapped in family, legacy, and maybe even redemption.
Because when Seth Curry said the Bay Area “felt like home”… he might have been saying more than anyone realized.
Something is happening in Golden State — and this time, it’s not just about Steph. It’s about a new spark that might shift the entire season.
