Lee, who is newly married to Curry's younger sister Sydel Curry-Lee, is expecting a baby with his new wife. I think he came into camp in the best shape of his life, but also with the most knowledge that he’s ever had and the most confidence.' This was a great summer for him, he got healthy, was able to work on his body. He didn’t really have a complete season health-wise, but he really helped us win some games. The season didn’t end well for him, he got Covid late in the year and was not able to play in the two play-in games. 'He had some really good games for us a year ago. “I thought he turned the corner last year,' Kerr said. Warriors coach Steve Kerr joined 95.7 The Game's Damon & Ratto where he discussed Lee's progress on the court, and when he believes the fifth-year guard turned the corner in his career. Lee's early success from this season has carried over from last season, where he began to make strides on the court before missing the Warriors' 16 remaining games due to a bout with Covid-19. Through four games this season, Lee has provided a consistent, reliable spark off the bench, helping to counteract opposing teams' suffocating defensive game plans designed to neutralize Steph Curry. Lee's performance off the bench (20 points in 25 minutes) helped Golden State squeak out its fourth-straight win of the season, and avoid a loss to the lowly Oklahoma City Thunder.

If it wasn't for Damion Lee, the Warriors would have likely suffered their first loss of the season Tuesday night. Download our local news and weather app for iOS or Android - and choose the alerts you want.
