Stephen Curry Moves to No. 22 on NBA Scoring List, Passing Vince Carter

His availability for the Miami back-to-back is under evaluation due to a re-tweaked right ankle.

Overview

  • Curry scored 34 points in a 121-113 loss to the Magic in Orlando, where a second-quarter 3-pointer pushed him past Carter on the all-time list.
  • Multiple outlets list his career total at 25,749 points after the game, though some reports differ by a few points while still confirming the milestone.
  • He said he re-tweaked a right ankle first injured against San Antonio and will see how it responds before a decision on Wednesday’s game in Miami.
  • Coach Steve Kerr said the performance staff will determine whether veterans, including Curry, play on the second night of the back-to-back.
  • Kevin Garnett is next on the scoring ladder at 26,071 points, a mark Curry could reach within weeks if his health allows.
