CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - A Charlotte Hornets legend and current team broadcaster is reportedly expected to take a bigger job.
Dell Curry, the Hornets’ second all-time leading scorer, is expected to join Amazon Prime Video’s NBA broadcast team for the 2025–2026 season.
Curry’s pending move was first reported by Front Office Sports’ Michael McCarthy on Thursday morning.
The 61-year-old played 16 seasons in the NBA, 10 of which came with the Hornets. Nobody has played in more games for Charlotte, and only Kemba Walker has scored more points and made more three-pointers.
Wearing No. 30, Curry averaged 14 points per game with the Hornets and was named the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year in 1994.
Since playing his final NBA game, Curry has stayed rooted in Charlotte. His sons Steph and Seth both play in the NBA and have their own local histories. Both went to high school at Charlotte Christian before Steph played collegiately at Davidson College, while Seth finished college at Duke. Meanwhile, Dell has been part of the Hornets’ TV broadcast team for more than a decade.
It is unclear how many games Curry will work for Prime Video, or if he will stay on the Hornets’ broadcast team in any capacity.

Prime Video joins NBA broadcast lineup
With his expected move to Prime Video, Curry will join some of basketball’s biggest names.
The New York Times reported that the streaming platform has added iconic broadcaster Kevin Harlan and former head coach Stan Van Gundy, plus NBA legends Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki, Dwayne Wade and Blake Griffin.
The 2025-2026 season will mark Prime Video’s first NBA broadcasts after it was included in part an 11-year media agreement that was finalized in July 2024. That agreement takes effect in the upcoming season, and also adds Peacock to the broadcast lineup.
Per the agreement, Prime Video will air 66 regular-season games each year, and will broadcast some NBA Cup games in addition to all six Play-In Tournament games and some playoff games.
