SAN FRANCISCO — With the Jonathan Kuminga situation now resolved (if only temporarily), the Warriors bolstered their backcourt with a veteran with a familiar last name and sharpshooting skillset.
Seth Curry, 35, has agreed to sign a one-year deal, according to a report by ESPN on Tuesday afternoon. The 6-foot-1 guard, and younger brother of Warriors superstar Steph Curry, played in 68 games for his hometown Charlotte Hornets last season, and led the league with a 45.6% accuracy rate from behind the 3-point line.
After beginning his pro career with the G League Santa Cruz Warriors, he has played for nine teams over the course of an 11-year NBA career, one that has seen him shoot 43.3% from 3-point distance and average exactly 10 points per game.

He is expected to add another quality shot-maker that the Warriors sometimes needed behind Steph Curry and Buddy Hield last season, an issue that became even more evident in the playoffs once Curry went out with a pulled hamstring.
Seth Curry will likely back up third-year guard Brandin Podziemski this season and compete with Hield and the expected-to-be-signed De’Anthony Melton for minutes in the backcourt.
