On a recent stream, Celtics star Jaylen Brown confidently claims Warriors star Stephen Curry wouldn’t beat him 1-on-1.

PORTLAND, Ore. — Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry hit 12 3-pointers and scored 48 points during Sunday night’s 136-131 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. It marked the fifth time in Curry’s career that he has hit at least 12 3s in a game.

Coach Steve Kerr said Thursday the 37-year-old two-time Kia MVP is expected to return for Friday’s game against Minnesota (10 p.m. ET, NBA TV) following a five-game absence nursing a left quadriceps contusion and muscle strain. He was not listed on the NBA’s injury report Friday morning.

Stephen Curry is elite at 37 years old, but veteran sports analyst Bill Simmons wonders how he can keep it up with the nightly burden he is carrying. For Simmons, Curry's heavy responsibility and usage for the current Golden State Warriors squad could take a toll, even on a player known for his conditioning.

Jaylen Brown reflected on the Celtics’ 2022 Finals loss, admitting he is still upset and pointing to Stephen Curry.

The only reason this brand of mediocre basketball isn’t resulting in a truly lost season is that the Western Conference has decided to be terrible at the bottom. The bar for the final play-in spot is 10-16. But the Warriors have become irrelevant. The Warriors are 14-15, stumbling over a bar that is lying on the floor.

During a Rakuten holiday content shoot, Stephen Curry teased that he may publish a story about his scars by the time he retires.
