Report: Stephen Curry Can’t Be In LeBron James’ Space Jam 2

Golden State Warriors superstar point guard Stephen Curry won’t appear in LeBron James’ Space Jam 2.

The information was confirmed by several sources, and it turns out that Curry won’t appear in the sequel due to scheduling issues.

Klay Thompson will appear in it. Damian Lillard, Anthony Davis, Diana Taurasi, Nneka Ogwumike and Chiney Ogwumike are expected to have a role in the film. The production of Space Jam 2 begins this summer.

Sopan Deb of The New York Times has more details on Curry’s reasons to skip the film.

“The next several months have much in store for Curry, a 31-year-old basketball savant who, after 10 seasons, is already thinking hard about life after basketball. No, he won’t be making a cameo in LeBron James’s production of “Space Jam 2” (he was asked but said no, citing scheduling issues), but he will probably field a call or two from former President Barack Obama (he said they are in contact about once a month).”

Curry is pretty busy at the moment, and he will be even more busy.

“He has ramped up projects for his production company, Unanimous Media, which he formed last year with his partners Jeron Smith and Erick Peyton. It’s name nots to Curry’s unanimous selection as the league’s most valuable player in 2016.”

The 2019-20 season will be packed and tough for the Warriors.

“I run a lot more than the next guy,” Curry said. “There’s really just an understanding of my training and the things I do to get myself ready. I can withstand that type of output night after night. It’s going to be hard. It’s going to require another level of discipline.

“This regular season was the hardest one we’ve ever had in terms of keeping everything together,” Curry added. “Not because of anything more than it’s just mentally challenging to perform at this level every single night. When we got to the playoffs, it was the most fun I think we’ve had, minus the injuries, obviously. That was tough all the way across the board.

“But it was as fun, if not more, than years past. Because one, we were challenged. Two, there was a constant communication in the locker toom like, ‘Yo, this is what we live for.’”
