The Curry family briefly confirmed this information:

“Mr. Dell is in intensive care. This is not an easy time for our family.”

According to local medical sources, Mr. Dell Curry – 60 – has been showing signs of fatigue and difficulty breathing for a long time in recent days. Although he was treated at home, he suddenly collapsed last night and was taken to a hospital near Akron in a worrying condition.

A hospital employee shared anonymously:

“Mr. Dell was brought in with symptoms of shock and low blood pressure. We immediately activated the emergency alarm.”

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry canceled all personal schedules and flew straight home just hours after receiving the bad news. Curry did not post anything on social media, but fans saw him appear at the airport with a dazed face, not answering reporters.

“He is the reason I became the player I am today. Now I just want to be with him.” – Curry said about his father in a previous interview.
