Warriors Star Stephen Curry, Dell Break NBA Games Record

Stephen Curry’s 1,052nd regular-season start pushed the Curry family to a new NBA record: 2,135 combined games played, topping Dolph and Danny Schayes’ 2,134. Dell Curry logged 1,083 games in a long career while Stephen is in his 17th season with Golden State. The milestone arrived as the Warriors sit 18-17 and No. 8 in the West, with Curry recovering from ankle trouble. Merlin sees more than a stat line. The record celebrates durability and legacy, but the real story is urgency. Golden State needs Curry healthy to turn stretches of inconsistency into a late-season run. His availability will decide whether this mark becomes a lucky charm or merely a bittersweet footnote.
