Stephen Curry was extremely satisfied when he returned to the golf course following the hamstring injury against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2025 playoffs. His comeback stage was the American Century Championship. Additionally, surprising everyone, the 37-year-old grabbed a hockey stick and attempted to insert the ball into the hole.
His challenge was simple:

Here, he referred to

, which will release on July 25. The
NBA
legend then requested the audience to see the film.
