The Story in 60 Seconds

Writer Peter O'Keefe argues that Golden State Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg's rapid emergence could motivate Stephen Curry to prolong his NBA career. Lendeborg scored a career-high 37 points to lead Golden State to a 124-112 victory over the L.A. Clippers on Sunday night.

O'Keefe suggests that Lendeborg's strong play eases the burden on the 38-year-old Curry, who recently signed a two-year extension. The writer believes that having a productive player on a cost-effective four-year rookie deal could keep the Warriors competitive and encourage Curry to play beyond his current deal.
