"It sucks. It sucks. You don't want to be sitting and watching, especially how the season has started," he told the San Francisco Chronicle. "Hopefully, I won't get used to it, but we'll see what happens."
Coach Don Nelson said it wasn't that big of a deal, however Curry plans to speak with Nelson just to make sure everything is okay.
"They haven't told me that I'm doing anything wrong," Curry said. "I'll ask some questions, because I hate this feeling. I come in and work every day, try to learn and take practice seriously, so I've just got to keep doing that and be patient. ... "I'll do it in a respectful way. I'll do it in a way that shows I'm willing to work harder if I need to or do something different if I need to."
What you may not know is that on the night before this game (Thursday) Curry attended a fundraiser in NYC hosted by former New York Giants running back Tiki Barber. The event was also attended by my cousin, his girlfriend Allison, and our friend Colleen (Allison's roommate). From what I was told it was a rather upscale event with an equally upscale crowd. Due to the older crowd, Curry, who just turned 21 on March 14th (my birthday), and my friends naturally gravitated toward each other. Presumably he and my cousin reminisced about partying together in NYC last June.

Now even though he had a game the following night, Curry went right ahead and joined my friends in making the most of the open bar at the event. As the booze continued to flow Curry did what any other 21-year-old would do: He started making out with our friend Colleen on the dance floor. Keep in mind that he had been talking to my cousin, Allison, and Colleen for some time, so it wasn't like he just randomly started mucking face with some girl on the dance floor. In fact, Allison told me that it felt like the 4 of them were "on a double date".
Later in the evening the foursome had planned on taking a round of shots together, but Curry decided to put the brakes on the drinking, perhaps thinking of his game in the world's most famous arena the following night. While this decision was probably wise, I'm not sure how much good it did him. All day Friday my cousin and Allison complained about how hung over they were at work because of Thursday night's escapades.
Does this story explain why Curry barely saw the floor against the Knicks? I don't know, but it is a bit curious, isn't it? I guess we'll have to wait and see how many minutes he plays against the Bucks tonight.
Fun fact- The picture of my cousin, Curry, and Korver was taken by none other than the aforementioned Colleen.
