Hornets to Retire Dell Curry’s No. 30 in March Ceremony

He becomes only the second Hornets player to have a jersey retired.

Overview

  • The team announced a March jersey retirement for No. 30 at a home game against the Magic, with the date reported inconsistently as March 19 by several outlets and March 23 in the team’s release.
  • Dell Curry spent 10 seasons in Charlotte, won the 1993–94 Sixth Man of the Year, and ranks second in franchise scoring with 9,839 points.
  • He has remained a central figure as a team ambassador and television analyst, now in his 17th season on the Hornets’ broadcast and 27th year affiliated with the organization.
  • Curry will join the late Bobby Phills (No. 13) as the only Hornets whose jerseys have been retired, a rarity the organization framed as recognition of long-term impact.
  • Co-chairmen Rick Schnall and Gabe Plotkin praised Curry’s contributions in announcing the honor, and Stephen and Seth Curry are considered likely attendees based on the Warriors’ schedule.
