Stephen Curry Collapses: Two Family Tragedies in Just 7 Days!
San Francisco, June 23, 2025 – NBA superstar Stephen Curry is going through one of the most difficult weeks of his life, having lost two close family members within just seven days.
According to his representatives, the Golden State Warriors guard is mourning the passing of his maternal uncle earlier this week, followed only days later by the loss of his aunt—a woman who played a pivotal role in his upbringing during his early years.
“This has been the hardest week for our family. Thank you for the love, prayers, and support,” Curry posted on social media, accompanied by a black-and-white photo in tribute to his loved ones.
Despite the intensity of the ongoing NBA season, Curry requested a leave of absence from one game to attend the funerals and be with his family. Head Coach Steve Kerr publicly supported the decision, stating: “We’re not just a basketball team—we’re a family. And right now, we’re all standing with Steph.”
Fans and fellow athletes across the sports world have flooded social media with condolences. Longtime teammate Klay Thompson wrote: “A week of loss, but also a week of love and remembrance. Always here for you, brother.”
