9+ hour, 5+ min ago (211+ words) Steph Curry's recent split from Under Armour after more than a decade may have been influenced by the company's failed push to sign Caitlin Clark, according to Bloomberg's Kim Bhasin and Randall Williams (h/t Sports Business Journal). Curry and Under Armour ended their 13-year partnership earlier this month, with Curry Brand set to continue independently. While the breakup was widely viewed as business-oriented, Bloomberg reported that Curry grew frustrated with what he and his advisers saw as underinvestment in his line. One "sore point," as Bloomberg noted, was Under Armour's pursuit of the Indiana Fever star. Curry and the company both wanted to bring Clark into the Curry Brand, but Under Armour's offer reportedly fell well short of Nike's winning bid. While the partnership between Curry and Under Armour is ending, the company still plans to release one final…...

7+ hour, 22+ min ago (148+ words) The Utah Jazz aren't immune to shots from Steph "Petty King" Curry. Before Monday's game between the Warriors and Jazz at Chase Center, Curry, a sneaker free agent, entered the arena wearing Michael Jordan's infamous "flu game" Jordan XIIs. Curry switched to Jordan 14s for his pregame warmups Monday night.

Once the game begins, Curry has been wearing his own Curry Brand shoes. As Curry pays tribute to Jordan, the 37-year-old is one 40-point game away from breaking a tie with the six-time NBA champion for most such games after turning 30 years old. The Warriors are in desperate need of a win, so there would be no better time for Curry to drop a 40-piece on the Jazz....
