Stephen Curry says it was ‘tough to see’ Charlotte violence
The two-time NBA MVP roots for the Carolina Panthers, shouts out his hometown on Twitter and relishes the chance to play the Charlotte Hornets. Demonstrators threw rocks at officers, injuring at least 16 and damaging several police cars. A protester died Thursday from gunshot wounds he sustained during the second night of demonstrations. The violence in Charlotte erupted after police were involved in the deaths of three African American men throughout the country within the previous week. The third was Keith Lamont Scott, 43, who was shot by a police officer in the parking lot of an apartment complex near the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Curry spent his formative years in Charlotte, where his father, Dell, played for the Hornets. Though some NBA players have reportedly considered following Kaepernick's example, Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green have said they will stand for the national anthem when Golden State opens its preseason slate Saturday in Vancouver.
