NBA Dad Stephen Curry, Daughter in Adorable New Pic, MVP Tends To Riley's Ankles [Photo]

Golden State Warrior superstar Stephen Curry is serious about his daughter's health and safety. In a new Instagram photo, we see the baller dad taking time to give his little girl a taste of the NBA life.

In a new social media post, the NBA 2015 Most Valuable Player is seen taping his 3-year-old daughter's ankles. The snap carried the caption "Must run in the family....... Photcred: @dmarjones." Riley is seen sprawled on a sofa seat as her 27-year-old dad puts his attention on making her sure ankles are set. Unfortunately, no explanation on Riley's injuries were given.

A day since the upload, the father-daughter moment has already generated 387,000 likes along with nearly 6,500 comments.
According to The Huffington Post, ankle problems are a common thing within the Curry family tree and Steph is taking the necessary steps to ensure his little girl is going to remain safe and sound.

HuffPost shared a bit of trivia and recalled how Curry's stellar NBA career was almost derailed due to chronic ankle pain. In addition, Stephen's younger brother Seth, who is also in the NBA playing for the Sacramento Kings, suffered a 2013 sprain in the ankle while playing for Duke.

For Curry fans, as the Dubs look to defend their NBA Championship title, more good news is ahead as the basketball heartthrob admits he's happy where he is.

The point guard recently told Sporting News' Jimmy Carter that even though he's up for unrestricted free agency in 2017, free agency "isn't really appealing" to him.

"It helps being world champs and you want to continue to build the momentum that we've established and I hope to have a huge part of that in the long term," quoted the publication of Curry during a recent golf event.. "But I think the best approach for me is to try and stay as in the moment as possible.

The site notes that it's most likely the Warriors will make a move to sign Curry before he hits free agency but as it stands, the athlete is content to stay where he is. The publication further analyzed that Curry is in an ideal situation where the team is comprised of a lot of new talent with massive support in terms of ticket sales. Going into a new contract negotiation, Steph will likely be able to sign a massive salary increase which will see him taking home somewhere around $30 million annually. 

The current fifth highest-paid player also notes the importance of staying in the moment and not getting "too ahead of yourself." Curry is locked in for a four-year, $44 million deal since 2012. This coming season, he' set to make $11.3 million and $12.1 million in 2016-17.
