Sydel Curry-Lee — Damion Lee

Stephen Curry and Seth Curry have a younger sister named Sydel. She’s also athletic, having played setter for a collegiate volleyball team in the past. Sydel was a member of the C.A.A. Conference’s Elon Phoenix women’s volleyball team. Their family moved around a lot throughout her youth, but they eventually landed in Charlotte, where she honed her volleyball abilities. Her love of volleyball may be traced back to her mother, who is also a volleyball player. She was a member of her high school squad before joining Elon Phoenix. She was selected a Parade Magazine All-American and an N.S.C.A.A. High School All-American in 2013. She was also named the Division IV Offensive Player of the Year twice by the Southern Section. She was named Prep League Offensive MVP four times. In 2017, she was forced to retire as a Division I athlete. Sydel considers herself to be a true homebody. She just put herself out there by collaborating with Neiman Marcus. “A Curry Girl” is a lifestyle weblog where Sydel discusses her love, as well as important and current issues such as mental health awareness and Sydel’s beliefs. She and Ayesha (Steph’s wife) created Domaine Curry, a wine that grew out of their shared passion for wine. Aside from that, she works as a service concierge for Tesla. Last year, Sydel and Damion married.
