Steph Curry travels to Drake's mansion in Toronto for 3-point contest with the rapper

Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry has been away from the NBA for most of the 2019-20 season. After his injury last October, the three-time NBA champion missed out on most of the season, only to return for one game before the COVID-19 crisis caused the league to go on a hiatus. Since the Warriors were at the bottom of the table, they were among the eight teams eliminated before the remaining travelled to the NBA bubble to resume the suspended season.

Steph Curry shooting: Warriors star travelled to Drake mansion in Toronto to shoot 3s with the rapper

Steph Curry was recently spotted shooting three-pointers with Drake at his OVO branded court this week. Videos of the two were shared online, where both are seen messing around and enjoying a shootout at The Sanctuary – Drake's basketball court at his mansion. The video featured Drake missing some shots, but the two went head-to-head later on as their group of friends cheered.

The Warriors star travelled to Canada amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with the countries travel restrictions still in place. However, with Curry's wife, Ayesha, being a Canadian citizen, it could have been easier for the couple to travel. Additionally, Steph has also lived in Canada during his childhood when his father Dell Curry played for the Toronto Raptors.
