Steph Curry Gets Ejected, Wife Says NBA ‘Rigged’

Toward the end of Thursday evening’s Game 6 of the NBA Finals, Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry fouled out for the first time in his career, was ejected, and threw a tantrum—tossing his mouth guard into the crowd. The ejection and loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers was apparently so frustrating for the Curry family that his wife got in on the poor behavior, tweeting that the NBA is “rigged for money... or ratings,” adding, “I won’t be silent.” She deleted the tweet only after it was shared more than 80,000 times. Curry later explained her deletion, telling Twitter users she “tweeted in the heat of the moment because the call was uncalled for.” And she added a little later, after allegedly receiving threats from Cavs fans: “I’m okay that we lost... I just can’t take people coming at my family for absolutely no reason. Something I don’t understand or stand for.”
