Sydel Curry Lee’s husband shares honest reaction to facing brother-in-law Steph Curry

Steph Curry’s sister, Sydel Curry Lee, invited her husband, Damion Lee, to Monday’s episode of her and Cameron Brink’s podcast, Straight to Cam. On the show, Lee outlined what it was like to play against his brother-in-laws, Seth and Steph Curry

Damion Lee explained that it's very competitive to play against the Curry brothers. He gave an example of how Steph would look for him on the bench after scoring against the Suns during their last regular-season game. Lee also mentioned that while Seth Curry doesn’t talk as much as Steph, he also gets quite competitive.

“It’s always fun playing against him (Steph). We both find different ways to separate it (family from basketball). When we’re both out there on the court, trying to take each other’s heads off.”

Damion Lee just wrapped up his seventh season in the league. He went undrafted during the 2016 NBA Draft and joined the Miami Heat’s Summer League team. After some time in the G League, Lee signed a contract with the Atlanta Hawks in 2018.

The 32-year-old also spent four seasons playing with Steph Curry and the Warriors from 2018 until 2022. Lee was with the Phoenix Suns for the past two seasons but is now an unrestricted free agent. He has made 315 career appearances, recording 7.8 points and 3.2 rebounds per game.

"Bagged his teammate’s sister”: Steph Curry’s sister sets the record straight on her relationship with Damion Lee

Damion Lee married Steph Curry’s sister, Sydel, in September 2018, right as he joined the Golden State Warriors.

Due to the timing of both incidents, fans on social media spun a narrative suggesting that Lee had gotten together with his teammate’s sister. However, Sydel Curry set the record straight during Monday’s episode of her podcast:

“The narrative around our relationship is that Damion Lee bagged his teammate’s sister. No. Damion and I were together way before he joined the Warriors. We got together in 2016.”

Sydel then revealed that she and Lee were already engaged before he had signed for the Atlanta Hawks. So, Lee's relationship with Sydel has been going strong long before he had even made the league.
