Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry arrived in New York City on July 14, 2026, to attend this week’s ESPY Awards.
At the same time, LeBron James is also in the city, a coincidence that has amplified speculation about the forward’s upcoming free-agency decision. League buzz has linked the Los Angeles Lakers veteran to potential interest from the Warriors, and the simultaneous presence of both superstars in Manhattan has further stoked those rumors.
Neither player has publicly addressed the speculation. Curry’s schedule in New York is centered on Wednesday night’s ESPYs ceremony, where he is expected to be among the evening’s presenters and nominees. James has kept his plans private, but his offseason decision remains one of the NBA’s most closely watched storylines.
The league’s free-agency moratorium lifts later this month, at which point teams can formally negotiate contracts with unrestricted players such as James.
