Dejounte Murray to Stephen Curry

On Thursday, October 1, 2026, everyone playing the NBA Today's Linkster got the same two players: get from Dejounte Murray to Stephen Curry in as few links as possible. Par was 3, counted through colleges and draft classes, but any shared college, jersey number, team or draft class counted as a move.

  • Stephen Curry (G, 2017–2026) College: Davidson. Team: Golden State Warriors. Number: #30. Drafted: 2009.
