As the Golden State Warriors prepare for Game 3 against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference semifinals, they will be facing significant challenges without their star guard Stephen Curry. Curry is sidelined with a Grade 1 hamstring strain he suffered in Game 1, and reports indicate he may not return until Game 6 at the earliest.
Despite his absence from the court, Curry remains a hot topic in the news. His sister, Sydel Curry-Lee, recently took the opportunity to clarify details about her relationship on the podcast “Straight to Cam,” co-hosted by WNBA player Cameron Brink. There has been some confusion regarding Sydel’s marriage to Phoenix Suns player Damion Lee, who previously played alongside Stephen on the Warriors.
In her podcast appearance, Sydel set the record straight, stating that their relationship predates Lee’s time with the Warriors. “Everyone thinks that the narrative around our relationship is that Damion Lee bagged his teammate’s sister. No! Damion and I were together way before he joined the Warriors. We got together in 2016,” she explained. The couple got married in 2018, and they now share two children, Daxon Wardell-Xavier Lee and Daryn Alicia Lee.
The full episode featuring Sydel’s insights will be available for listeners on Monday, shedding more light on her life and family dynamics. In the midst of the playoffs and injuries, it’s heartening to see family connections and personal stories gain attention alongside the competitive spirit of the NBA. Fans will surely appreciate the deeper look into the lives of players and their families, especially during this crucial postseason.
