Stephen Curry's Family And Teammate Involved In Paris Incident

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (30) gestures during an NBA basketball game against the Oklahoma City Thunder in San Francisco, Saturday, Nov. 18, 2023. All-Star Saturday Night, Feb.

The Paris Olympics concluded with a momentous victory for Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry, who led the American team to a gold medal triumph over France in a thrilling final match. However, amidst the celebrations, an incident involving Curry's wife Ayesha, his mother Sonya, and Warriors teammate Draymond Green unfolded in Paris.

A video captured Sonya Curry engaging in a tense exchange with police officers, expressing frustration at being restricted from returning to their original location. Ayesha Curry, visibly emotional, was seen holding her young child while conversing with the officers. The group was informed that their movement was restricted due to the impending arrival of French President Emmanuel Macron, who was passing through the area after attending the gold medal match.

Draymond Green raised concerns about the treatment of Ayesha's child, alleging that the child had been struck by one of the officers. Despite an apparent apology from the officer, Sonya Curry emphasized the urgency of reaching their vehicle.

Security measures in Paris during the Olympics were notably stringent, with over 30,000 police officers deployed in and around the city to ensure the safety of attendees. The closing ceremony, which took place the following day, saw the mobilization of an additional 20,000 police troops and security personnel.
