Currys take on Chris Paul’s family in ‘Family Feud’
It’s a rematch of the NBA’s Western Conference finals! … Um, well, sort of.
On Sunday night’s edition of “Celebrity Family Feud” (8 p.m., ABC), Warriors star Stephen Curry (and his clan) goes up against Houston Rockets star Chris Paul (and his clan) in a grudge match that features two of the NBA’s best point guards.
There is some history here, of course. Curry and Paul have been playing (and shimmying) against each other for years. Most recently, they met up in the hotly contested Western Conference finals and Paul’s Rockets had the upper hand — holding a 3-2 lead — before the Warriors came back to knock off Houston and went on to win their third NBA title in four years.
Of course, Paul suffered an untimely hamstring injury that forced him to miss the last two games of that series and Rockets fans will forever insist that had he not gotten hurt, Houston would have played Cleveland in the NBA Finals.
With that in mind, Sunday’s “Celebrity Family Feud,” hosted by Steve Harvey, should have lots of spice to it. … Or it would have, had it not been filmed in February, during the NBA’s All-Star break.
In addition to Steph, the Currys are represented by his wife, Ayesha, sister Sydel, mother Sonya and father Dell. The charity they’re playing for is the Community Foundation of Sonoma County.
In addition to Chris, the Paul family will be repped by his wife, Jada, mother Robin, brother CJ and father, Charles. They’re playing for the Chris Paul Family Foundation.
Boucher waived
The Warriors have waived two-way player Chris Boucher.
Boucher, an undrafted forward from Oregon spent the majority of last season on the Warriors’ GLeague affiliate in Santa Cruz, averaging 11.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 22.2 minutes in 20 games after recovering from a torn ACL. Boucher made one appearance with Golden State on March 14.
Jones to play in summer league
Center Damian Jones will play for the Warriors’ summer league team for the second consecutive summer, a source close to the team told the Bay Area News Group.
Last summer, after missing most of the 2016-17 season because of a torn right pectoral muscle, Jones averaged 8.1 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in six games. He will participate in the California Classic in Sacramento from July 2-5 and the annual tournament in Las Vegas from July 6-17.
Jones, the No. 30 pick in the 2016 draft, spent much of this past season in Santa Cruz.
