Steph Curry Announces Retirement from Dunking After Rare Slam in Warriors Loss

The 36-year-old NBA star delivered his first dunk in six years during a game against the 76ers, declaring it will be his last.

Stephen Curry dunked for the first time since 2019 during the Warriors' 126-119 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night.
The 36-year-old guard confirmed postgame that this dunk, his 27th career regular-season slam, will be the last of his career, citing the physical effort required.
Curry recorded 29 points, 13 assists, and 5 rebounds in the game, but the Warriors' five-game winning streak came to an end without Jimmy Butler, who was sidelined with back spasms.
The rare dunk followed a morning shootaround where assistant coach Jerry Stackhouse jokingly requested to see one, adding an ironic twist to the moment.
Despite the loss, the Warriors remain focused on securing a playoff spot, with head coach Steve Kerr carefully managing Curry's minutes in the midst of a demanding East Coast road trip.
