Scored 31 against Minnesota in January 2023, his top scoring night across more than 300 NBA games.
Damion Lee's career was a lesson in patience. Undrafted out of Louisville in 2016, he ground through two G League seasons before Golden State gave him a real look — a run that ended with a ring on the 2022 championship team. The shooting stroke was always the calling card: he finished an 88% career free-throw shooter and once hit 44.5% from three across a full season in Phoenix. What made him useful went beyond the arc, though — he read defenses like a veteran and rarely forced a possession. Off the court, he married Sydel Curry, joining one of basketball's most recognizable families. After a brief overseas stint, he had moved on from professional basketball by 2026, closing a career built on refusing to quit.
