The Professional Basketball Writers Association has presented the 2023 J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award to Steph Curry, the superstar of the Golden State Warriors, in recognition of his “inspiring work in the community.”

In recognition of his volunteer work, Warriors star Stephen Curry has received an award.

In the 2022–23 season, Stephen Curry was one of four finalists for the award, with Paul George of the Clippers, Wenyen Gabriel of the Lakers, and Grant Williams of the Celtics.

With an average of 29.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 6.3 assists in 56 games this season, the 35-year-old was selected for the All-Star Game and the All-NBA Team for the seventh time in his career.

According to PBWA President Howard Beck, “Steph Curry has used his platform to the fullest benefit of others,” stating that few players have the same reach or power as Curry. The other nominees and he are both praised by the Professional Basketball Writers Association.

The PBWA annually bestows the honor named for the NBA’s second commissioner upon a player, coach, or athletic trainer who has shown outstanding community service. The team’s constant coverage of the league is brought to you by over 200 reporters and editors.

The 2019–20 season saw the award’s comeback after two years without a victor due to the pandemic. Malcolm Brogdon received the J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award in 2020 while playing with the Indiana Pacers.
