Curry rolled back the years with a spectacular one-handed dunk on Saturday.
It was his first dunk since February 2019, and the 27th of his regular-season career overall.
And Curry, who finished with 29 points and 13 assists but could not prevent the Golden State Warriors losing 126-119 to a Quentin Grimes-inspired Philadelphia, says it will be his last slam.
"That will probably be my last dunk," the 36-year-old said.
"I'm calling it right now. That was the last one you're going to see.
"You want to take advantage of a cherry-pick opportunity.
"That will probably be my last dunk though. For sure, I will only lay the ball up. It took everything out of me to get up there."
Asked if he remembered his previous dunk, Curry said:바카라 웹사이트"Of course I do. Six years ago. At home. Right wing. The right corner. A little back cut.
"I think it was a pass from KD [Kevin Durant]. I was at Oracle. I never dunked at Chase [Center]. How about that?"
With Jimmy Butler rested due to a back issue, Warriors coach Steve Kerr had to be careful with Curry's minutes.
"We've got three [games]바카라 웹사이트in four nights," said Kerr, as reported by The Athletic's Anthony Slater.
"I can't play him 40 minutes. I don't really want to play him much more than 34, 35.
"He ended up around 36 [minutes] so [we] shortened his rest in the second. Obviously, we were a little desperate, hanging in there and we had a shot so we went for it."
The Warriors are seventh in the Western Conference, and Kerr has his sights set on a postseason push, though he did not want to get drawn into talk of reaching the NBA Finals.
"We would like to make the playoffs. The playoffs," he said.
"You're talking about the Finals? We just want to make the playoffs. Let's not talk about the Finals."
