Sydel Curry-Lee, the younger sister of NBA player Stephen Curry, is pursuing her own goals.

 

Sydel, the eldest of three siblings, was born in 1994 into a basketball-loving household. Her older brothers Stephen and Seth are both professional basketball players, while her father Dell Curry spent almost twenty years as an NBA player.

 

In 2020, the former college volleyball player told Togethxr, “People underestimating me is pretty much my life from the moment I started playing sports to the present.” She overheard her peers murmuring among themselves, “Oh, that’s Steph Curry’s sister,” as she strolled across her college campus.

 

However, Sydel has pursued a variety of hobbies after graduating from Elon University in 2017, such as starting a podcast, blogging about lifestyle, and supporting mental health. In addition, she is set to become a mother of two and the wife of NBA player Damion Lee.

 

She remarked, “I think I’ve done a pretty good job of becoming my own person and identity apart from my brothers.”

 

But Sydel still has her older brothers’ support. According to a Golden State Warriors video, she cried out in utter joy when she told Steph and his spouse Ayesha Curry that she was expecting her first child in 2021. At her 2018 wedding, her brothers also participated as groomsmen.

Even though Sydel didn’t play basketball as her family did, she did play volleyball at Elon University from 2014 to 2016. Due to a dislocated knee cap, she had to redshirt her freshman year and began playing in 2014.

 

Sydel remembered how underappreciated she was in college, how some even questioned her ability. “You’re only here because of your family,” was one of the first things I ever heard when I was a volleyball player, I recall.

 

In 2016, Sydel was named to the NCCSIA First Team All-State and was also named the team’s MVP. She did, however, give up volleyball in 2017 due to an injury.

 

“My sport has taken over a huge portion of my life and identity. I will always want to prioritize my sport over a lot of other things since I am an athlete and competitor,” she posted on Facebook. “I never imagined that making such a difficult decision about my future as my first mature decision would be.”

 

In the same year, she earned her psychology degree.
