In the wild world of NBA drama, Steph Curry’s right thumb has become the latest viral sensation that’s got everyone talking. After the Warriors’ gut-punching 131-116 loss to the Houston Rockets, basketball’s golden boy found himself in the crosshairs of internet detectives who zoomed in on a team photo revealing his suspiciously swollen digit.

The Great Thumb Conspiracy

Curry, never one to miss a beat, responded with peak chaotic energy: “I got the Feds on me?” he laughed, clearly amused by the social media frenzy. The Warriors’ superstar has been rocking a heavy thumb wrap for months, but apparently, that wasn’t going to stop netizens from their investigative deep dive.

Playing Through the Pain

Despite the injury drama, Curry remains unbothered. When asked about how his thumb is feeling, he quintessentially Bay Area-shrugged it off: “Just something you’re dealing with and you keep it moving”. Even with Dillon Brooks seemingly targeting his tender thumb during the game, Curry insists the injury isn’t cramping his style.

League of Legends (and Memes)

“I love this league so much,” Curry declared, embodying the energy of someone who lives rent-free in the internet’s collective consciousness. Two-time NBA MVP, social media darling, and apparently, thumb injury trendsetter - is there anything Steph can’t do?
