The Charlotte Hornets announced that they will retire Dell Curry's No. 30 jersey during a ceremony on March 23 at their home arena, honoring his significant contributions to the team. Curry, a key player for the Hornets from 1988 to 1998 and a Sixth Man of the Year in 1994, ranks second in franchise history with 9,839 points. He spent 16 NBA seasons, including stints with Utah, Cleveland, Milwaukee, and Toronto, but Charlotte remained his home and where he spent most of his career. Currently a Hornets ambassador and television analyst in his 17th season, Curry expressed his gratitude and emotional connection to the team and fans. The Hornets' ownership, led by Rick Schnall and Gabe Plotkin since acquiring the team in 2023, emphasized Curry's professionalism and impact on the organization. The jersey retirement makes Dell Curry the second Hornets player to receive this honor, joining Bobby Phills, and he is one of only two players in franchise history to have their jerseys retired, alongside Seth Curry, who wore No. 30 briefly. Dell Curry's legacy is celebrated both on and off the court, with his family continuing his basketball lineage through his sons Stephen and Seth Curry, NBA stars with the Golden State Warriors and other teams. The Hornets also unveiled plans for a new practice facility, Novant Health Performance Center, opening in 2027, as part of their ongoing development and commitment to honoring their history.
