Anthony Davis on who else can reach 40,000 career points: Possibly Stephen Curry
What’s the buzz on Twitter?
Seth Curry on Tyrese Maxey: “From day one, I knew he would be a good player in this league…It’s good to see him get the opportunity to run the team and keep getting better and better.” #Sixers sixerswire.usatoday.com/2024/03/02/set… via @SixersWire – 12:17 PM
AD said he and LeBron were discussing how he might have to stop hitting milestones because “We always lose when it’s time to break a record.”
He then added how remarkable it is to witness greatness continue.
Davis actually ranks 11th amongst active all-time scorers (17,289). – 11:36 PM
Anthony Davis on LeBron James becoming the first NBA player to reach 40,000 points:
“As of right now, I don’t see anybody breaking his record.” – 11:36 PM
AD said he told LeBron postgame that he has to stop breaking records because every time he does the Lakers lose that game. – 11:32 PM
Lakers havent even played poorly these past 7 games. They are all competitive until the end, and then Jokic invites Anthony Davis to participate in some street magic and two minutes later his watch is gone. – 10:49 PM
I understand AD not being primary on Jokic early on, but leaving Rui to Wither and die on Nikola in the fourth quarter just shouldn’t be happening – 10:38 PM
Third quarter: Lakers 89, Nuggets 89
Denver outscored LA 31-23 in the third. Rui Hachimura leads LA w/ 23 points. AR has 14 points and 11 assists. AD has 15 points and 10 rebounds. LeBron has 13 points and 8 assists. DLo has 17 points (he’s just 1-for-6 since starting 5-for-7). – 10:16 PM
Halftime: Lakers 66, Nuggets 58
That was one of LA’s best offensive halves of the season. AD has 13 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks. LeBron has 11 points and 6 assists (and 40,002 points and counting). AR has 9 points and 8 assists. DLo has 13 points. Rui has 13 points. – 9:36 PM
First quarter: Lakers 33, Nuggets 27
An impressive first quarter for LA. They shot 61.9%, scoring 18 points in the paint and 7 in transition. Rui Hachimura has 9 points. AD has 8 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks (both on Nikola Jokic). LeBron has 5 points — he’s 4 away from 40K. – 9:06 PM
Nice sequence for Rui. Held his position long enough against Jokic for AD to provide weakside help and a miss, then a three in transition. AK – 8:45 PM

Anthony Davis (bilateral Achilles tendinopathy), LeBron James (left ankle peroneal tendinopathy) and Cam Reddish (right ankle sprain) have been upgraded to AVAILABLE for tonight’s game vs. Denver. – 7:59 PM
Will be interesting to see how projections and conversations change for AD Mitchell and Xavier Worthy post-Combine.
Both were fringe first-rounders, then had big showings this week. – 7:07 PM

Eddy Curry just said on the @NBCSChicago broadcast that his favorite player on the Bulls is Andre Drummond. – 11:31 PM
I asked Steph Curry about seeing Oakley and being back in Toronto: “Seeing Oak. Seeing Alvin Boogie Williams. Seeing Herbie on the call. A lot of familiar faces from what was that ’99-2002 when my dad was here and I lived up here … 1/2 – 11:09 PM
Draymond on the pro-Warriors Toronto crowd: “(That’s) the Steph Curry effect… We get cheered in a lot of arenas we go to. I get booed in most arenas I go to but shoutout to the Canadians; they were very nice to me and I appreciated it.” pic.twitter.com/pEqo9uxliE – 10:47 PM
You can’t make this stuff up: Seth Curry, getting his first start for the #Hornets in place of an injured Brandon Miller, goes down in the fourth quarter with a sprained ankle. Moments later, Cody Martin sprains his left ankle.

Travel weary Warriors outlast rested Raptors 120-105 in a less-than-impressive outing. Barrett leads Toronto with 23 while Curry has 25 — and seven threes — for the Warriors. Golden State was 18/44 from deep, the Raptors were 12/45, which was the main difference. – 9:56 PM
‘Topes lose. 120-105. 25/6/6 for Curry, 24 for Kuminga, 23 for Barrett, 10 and 14 for Poeltl, 16 and 10 for Olynyk. – 9:51 PM
Eddy Curry is in the house and will join the @NBCSChicago broadcast during the third quarter. – 9:23 PM
93-83 Warriors heading into the 4th Q vs. Raptors. Curry with 23 and seven made threes. Barnes is out for the night for Toronto (left-hand injury). Barrett with 19 while Kelly Olynyk has 14 points off the bench. – 9:18 PM

Steph Curry has seven three-pointers and counting. He and Tyrese Maxey share the building record of nine made threes. Curry did it in 2015. Four guys you’d never guess and Ray Allen have hit eight here. – 9:10 PM
Steph Curry is up to 23 points in 21 minutes. 9 of them came in an 85-second span during the 2nd quarter. Another 6 just came in 27 seconds. Yeah, he’ll do that. He’s hit 7 of his 9 3PA, and the Warriors (who trailed for all but 87 seconds of the 1st half) lead by 10. – 9:05 PM
Oof … replay of that Seth Curry right ankle roll did NOT look fun. Headed back to Charlotte locker room. – 9:03 PM
Random fact of the day: This game features sons of 5 former NBA players (Dell Curry, Mychal Thompson, Gary Payton, Dale Davis, Gary Trent) and one who attended NBA camps/had excellent pro career (Rowan Barrett). – 8:53 PM
Another good game developing, no one’s getting cheered in entertainment. Raptors up 64-61 on Warriors after a half. RJ’s got 14 for Raptors, Curry’s made 4 3s and has 14 for the Dubs – 8:39 PM
After SKerr’s pre-game pro-defence rant, Dubs give up 64 to Raps 1st half to trail by 3. Barrett with 14 and Barnes with 10 for Toronto. Moody with 15, Curry 14 and Kuminga 14 for Warriors. Barnes left for the locker room early with sprains to each of this thumbs? Not good. – 8:36 PM
RJ Barrett and Kuminga beat Draymond to techs. Amazing.
Anyway, 64-61 Raps at half. 14 for RJ, 10/6/3 for Barnes, 15 for Moody, 14/5/3 for Curry. Will update with Scottie/Olynyk news when I have it. – 8:32 PM
31-28 Raptors after 1Q. Barrett with nine, Barnes with 6 and six rebounds. Curry has nine for Warriors with three triples. – 8:06 PM

Steph Curry will play tonight in Toronto
Brandin Podziemski and Gui Santos are doubtful. Andrew Wiggins is out – 1:44 PM
Pretty interesting as @Swarlayzers points out … Steph Curry hasn’t played in TO since Game 5 of NBA Finals: Was injured almost all of 19/20; Raps in Tampa in 20/21; Sat out in 21/22 (Warriors sat him out with COVID border concerns) and was hurt again last year. – 10:27 AM

Knicks get worked by Steph Curry and the Warriors, now just one game ahead of a play-in spot.
“I’m not sure what you all expect or what you all think. We are playing as best as we can with the bodies that we have.”

Curry: “we just have to keep stacking these good performances together. Doesn’t mean you’re going to win every game, but I think the identity … we always ask are we building an identity? I think we are.” – 11:16 PM

Stephen Curry wanted to go to New York in the 2009 draft. He was picked by the Warriors the pick before.

Final: Warriors 110, Knicks 99
Stephen Curry has 31 and 11 (rebounds) and Jonathan Kuminga has 25 and 7 as Golden State rips off another road win as it continues to try to climb out of the 9-10 mix out West.
New York closes out February 4-8, including losses in 7 of last 9. – 9:55 PM
Warriors beat the Knicks 110-99 and have won 10 of their last 12 games. Seven straight on the road.
Curry finishes with 31 points and 10 rebounds. Kuminga with 25 points on 12-of-19 shooting. – 9:55 PM
That’s seven straight road wins for the Warriors. Professional performance tonight in NY. Eight Steph Curry 3s. Jonathan Kuminga a powerful 25 points on 12/19 FG. Moses Moody steady in another spot start. Defense held Knicks to 99 points.
Record: 31-27 – 9:54 PM
Jonathan Kuminga in the same defensive possession: Switches onto Jalen Brunson, blocks his sweeping layup out of bounds. Flies over Josh Hart for the defensive rebound. Turns it into a touchdown pass to Steph Curry for 3. pic.twitter.com/sA9rKpyyBO – 9:10 PM

Warriors close the half with Curry displaying poor shot selection and Draymond with an ill-advised foul.
Those are the type of possessions that have harmed the Warriors all season. – 8:38 PM
Knicks down 55-46 to the Warriors at halftime. Still feels like it could’ve been much worse after that horrendous start. Shot just 33.3 percent in the half.
Steph Curry has 17 points and went 4-of-8 from long distance. – 8:38 PM
Curry already up to 14 points and 10 rebounds. At one time he and LeBron were the only visiting players with both a 50-point game and a triple-double at the current MSG. But nowadays anyone scores 50 or gets triple-doubles, so that may be outdated. – 8:32 PM
