Golden State has long been a destination that attracts talent, and this week proved no different as the Warriors acquired Al Horford and De’Anthony Melton. Yet, beyond adding veteran experience, the franchise became the setting for a heartfelt family reunion.

On Tuesday, the Warriors signed free agent guard Seth Curry to a one-year deal, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. The move pairs the former Duke standout with his older brother, Stephen Curry, the two-time MVP and cornerstone of Golden State’s dynasty.

Stephen Curry has spent his entire 15-season career with the Warriors after being selected seventh overall in the 2009 NBA Draft. His younger brother Seth has taken a more winding path, playing for multiple teams, including the Memphis Grizzlies, Dallas Mavericks, Philadelphia 76ers, and most recently the Charlotte Hornets, where their father, Dell Curry, spent ten seasons from 1989 to 1998.

The Curry brothers are the latest addition to a long tradition of NBA siblings who have shared the same locker room. From the Antetokounmpos to the Morris twins, here’s a look at some of the league’s most memorable brotherly pairings.

Giannis and Thanasis Antetokounmpo

The Antetokounmpo brothers joined forces with the Milwaukee Bucks in 2019 and have been inseparable since. Their partnership culminated in an NBA Championship in 2021, cementing their legacy as one of the most successful brother duos in league history.

In March 2021, Giannis and Thanasis faced off against their younger brother Kostas Antetokounmpo, becoming part of a rare trio of brothers to compete in the NBA. They later teamed up with their youngest sibling, Alex, during the 2022 All-Star Game Skills Challenge.

Brook and Robin Lopez

Drafted just five picks apart in 2008, Brook and Robin Lopez eventually became teammates with the Milwaukee Bucksduring the 2019–20 season. After a brief departure, Robin rejoined the team for the 2023–24 campaign.

Before their NBA careers, the Lopez twins played together in both high school and college, representing Stanford University. In 2019, they made history by appearing in a game alongside another set of brothers—the Antetokounmpos and the Holidays—marking a rare convergence of family talent on one court.

Evan and Isaiah Mobley

The Mobley brothers carried their chemistry from USC to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Evan entered the 2021 NBA Draft, while Isaiah stayed an extra year before signing a two-way contract with Cleveland in 2022. Isaiah split time between the Cavaliers and their G League affiliate, the Cleveland Charge, before joining the Philadelphia 76ers in 2024.

Moritz and Franz Wagner

The Wagner brothers have quickly become one of the NBA’s most dynamic duos. Moritz (Mo) paved the way, starring at Michigan and earning 2018 Big Ten Tournament MVP honors before being selected 25th overall by the Los Angeles Lakers. After stints with the Wizards and Celtics, Mo joined the Orlando Magic in 2021.

His younger brother Franz followed a similar path, also playing for Michigan before being drafted eighth overall by the Magic that same year. The brothers have represented Germany together in international competition, showcasing their shared skill and passion for the game.

Marcus and Markieff Morris

The Morris twins made NBA history as the first pair of twins to start for the same team. Drafted consecutively in the 2011 NBA Draft—Markieff at No. 13 by the Phoenix Suns and Marcus at No. 14 by the Houston Rockets—they reunited in Phoenix two years later after a trade.

Together, they brought intensity and toughness to the Suns, setting a precedent for twin synergy in the league.

Justin, Jrue, and Aaron Holiday

Basketball truly runs in the Holiday family. Justin and Aaron Holiday played together for the Indiana Pacers and later reunited briefly with the Atlanta Hawks. Before that, Justin had a stint with Jrue Holiday on the Philadelphia 76ers in 2013.

In 2019, when the Pacers faced Jrue’s New Orleans Pelicans, all three Holiday brothers shared the floor—making NBA history as the first trio of siblings to play in the same game simultaneously.

Goran and Zoran Dragić

The Dragić brothers shared time together on both the Phoenix Suns and the Miami Heat. When they were traded to Miami in 2015, it marked the start of Goran’s successful run with the Heat.

In Phoenix, the Dragićs played alongside the Morris twins, marking the first and only time in league history that two sets of brothers suited up for the same team at once.

Caleb and Cody Martin

The Martin twins brought their chemistry from high school and Nevada to the Charlotte Hornets. Caleb, undrafted in 2019, joined his brother Cody, a second-round pick that same year. They spent two seasons together before Caleb signed with the Miami Heat, where he blossomed into a key rotational player.

Dominique and Gerald Wilkins

After a stint overseas, Dominique Wilkins joined the Orlando Magic to play alongside his younger brother Gerald. Though their partnership was brief—Dominique played 27 games while Gerald appeared in just three—it served as a fitting conclusion to both of their NBA careers.

From the Antetokounmpos’ championship bond to the Currys’ long-awaited reunion, brotherly love continues to be one of basketball’s most endearing themes. For the Warriors, the addition of Seth Curry is more than a roster move—it’s a family story, one that adds another chapter to the legacy of one of the NBA’s greatest dynasties.
