The Charlotte Hornets have turned heads around the league recently. They began to gain recognition after defeating the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder on the road by 27 points.
Later they defeated the Utah Jazz away from home by 55 points, the largest margin of victory this season.
Thursday night they impressed once again, earning another road win, defeating the Los Angeles Lakers 135-117.
Now, they face a challenging matchup ahead of them Saturday, squaring off against Stephen Curry and the Warriors.
The game comes just days after the Hornets announced that they would retire Dell Curry's jersey, 10-year Hornets player and father of Stephen.
However, there could be a chance that Dell's No. 30 gets temporarily unretired.
Speaking with the media, Dell revealed that Stephen asked him if he could wear the number if he became a member of the Hornets. Dell replied: "No doubt."
When social media caught wind of this, speculation ensued. Although Stephen has spent his entire 17-year career with Golden State, it says a lot that he's seemingly still considering returning to his hometown to join the Hornets.
After this season, Curry has one more year on his current deal with the Warriors and will then become a free agent ahead of the 2027-28 season. By then, Curry will be entering his age 39 season.
If Curry were to wear No. 30 for Charlotte, it will have been a jersey number shared by the entire family, as his brother Seth Curry wore it during his 76 games as a Hornet.
