Steph Curry clarifies decision to remove Warriors from his Instagram bio

Steph Curry recently decided to remove "Warriors" from his Instagram bio, causing speculation among fans. When asked about this decision, Curry explained that he wanted to focus more on his personal brand and showcase his individual identity outside of the team. He emphasized that it was not a reflection of his commitment to the Warriors organization, but rather a way to emphasize his own accomplishments and interests. Despite the change, Curry assured fans that he is fully dedicated to the team and excited for the upcoming season.

Relax, Dub Nation.

Steph Curry finally revealed why he recently removed a reference to the Warriors from his Instagram bio.

And we can thank Bloomberg's "The Circuit" host Emily Chang for getting the truth out of him.

"I'm shooting with Steph and Ayesha Curry today," Chang said in a video preview posted to her Instagram on Friday morning. "I just played a nice little round of golf. I'm not asking why he took the Warriors off his Instagram.

"Very mindful. Very demure. ... You're not going anywhere."

Chang then looked directly at Steph as she awaited a response, while a confused Ayesha uttered: "Wait, what?"

"I was just proud to be an Olympian," responded Steph, who just won his first gold medal with Team USA in his Olympics debut in Paris this summer.

Several fans grew concerned when the "Guard for the @Warriors" part of Steph's bio was removed and replaced with "Olympic Gold Medalist" and had no affiliation to Golden State on the social media platform.

But after Steph signed a one-year contract extension worth a reported $62.6 million Thursday that will keep him in the Bay through the 2026-27 season, his desire to remain a "Warrior for life" appears to still be the case for the two-time NBA MVP.

"You're here forever," Chang said.

"That's the plan," Curry responded, laughing. "That's hilarious."
