The Charlotte Hornets losing-streak against the Los Angeles Clippers continued Monday, as Charlotte fell to Los Angeles for their 16th consecutive time.
That said, as the Hornets continue their West Coast road trip Thursday against the Los Angeles Lakes, the team released some heartwarming news.
The Charlotte Hornets have decided to retire the iconic No. 30 of Dell Curry, scheduling the ceremony for Mar. 19. Curry leads the franchise all-time in games played (701) and ranks second all-time in points scored, trailing only Kemba Walker.
He also leads Charlotte all-time in two-point field goals made and sits second all-time in three-point field goals made.
During his time playing career in Charlotte, Curry averaged 14 points per game and shot over 40% from three-point range.
Although Curry spent 10 years as a Hornets player, he's served as their main broadcast analyst for 17 years, beginning with the team in that capacity in 2009.
Curry's sons, Stephen and Seth Curry are both current members of the Golden State Warriors. However, they are likely to attend, as the Warriors have a rest day on the 19th and will be in the midst of an East Coast road trip at the time.
While it has always been rumored for Stephen Curry to play for the Hornets, having grown up in the city and having played his college basketball at Davidson, Curry has remained in Golden State throughout his entire career.
Seth on the other hand, played parts of two seasons with the Hornets and bested his fathers three-point percentage, shooting 43.8% over 76 games.
