Story summary

Steph Curry, star player for the Golden State Warriors, has been instructed by his wife Ayesha Curry to abstain from drinking alcohol during the NBA season. This decision was highlighted in an Instagram post where Ayesha shared a picture of them poolside, with Steph opting for water instead of an alcoholic drink as they prepare for their first preseason game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Despite previous statements that he only drinks during celebrations or the offseason, Steph agreed to this new rule ahead of his 18th NBA season and a recent $116 million contract extension with the Warriors.
