Windhorst highlighted Curry's recent shooting slump, noting his subpar three-point percentage over the last few games.

In a video conference on First Take, Brian Windhorst discussed Curry's challenges, emphasizing the unfamiliar setting for the seasoned NBA star. 

During the conference, Windhorst asknowledged Curry's four-game run here where he’s just been off. While Team USA has stars on all the department, it's Steph's shooting under 25% from three is what might require some re-work. He also added that only four games aren’t that much to worry about but the number of games are limited and Curry needs to bounce back.


“He's struggling a little bit with his shots being cut down. He even admitted last night that he's forcing some shots a little bit because he doesn't know when his shots are coming,” the analyst added. 

Curry, known for his sharpshooting and ability to create his shot, is facing limitations in the Olympic format, where sharing the ball and adjusting to a different style of play are crucial. Windhorst pointed out Curry's acknowledgment of forcing shots and the need for him to adapt to the new environment to regain his shooting touch.
