Warriors Release Seth Curry in Post-NBA Preseason Roster Changes
The Golden State Warriors have made significant roster changes ahead of the 2025 NBA season. Following a busy offseason, the team has added several veterans, headlined by the experienced big man Al Horford. However, one of the notable moves was the signing of guard Seth Curry, brother of star player Steph Curry.
Roster Moves and Waiver News
On October 18, 2025, the Warriors announced they had waived both Seth Curry and rookie LJ Cryer from their roster. The announcement came after the team’s preseason finale, as they fine-tuned their lineup for the upcoming season.
Details of the Waiver
- The Warriors waived guard Seth Curry and LJ Cryer.
- This decision was not unexpected and only temporary.
- Cryer, 24, a rookie out of Houston, is anticipated to join the Santa Cruz Warriors.
- Seth Curry’s return to the Warriors is expected next month.
Due to financial constraints, the Warriors are not able to sign Seth Curry to a standard contract until November. He participated in the preseason under an Exhibit 9 contract, allowing him to practice with the team.
Training Camp and Impact
Throughout training camp, Curry did not take the court during any of the five preseason games. Nonetheless, his time spent with the team was valuable for his preparation leading into the season.
Shooting Needs for the Warriors
The Warriors are actively seeking improvements in their shooting lineup. Besides Steph Curry, only Buddy Hield and Moses Moody pose significant threats from three-point range. Seth Curry, who led the NBA in three-point percentage last season at 45.6%, offers additional depth and sharp-shooting skills as a potential reserve player.
With Curry’s established career three-point shooting percentage of 43.4% over 11 seasons, his value to the Warriors is undeniable. Although he won’t start the season on the active roster, his spot is secured for when he can officially sign with the team.
