The Charlotte Hornets will retire Dell Curry’s No. 30 jersey, sources told Shams Charania of ESPN.
The ceremony will take place on March 19 against the Magic.
Curry, who played with the Hornets for ten seasons, is second on the franchise’s all-time scoring list with 9,839 points.
“I never imagined it would happen,” Curry said. “It means so much to me. I do it because it’s what I love to do. The game gave me so much, the fans gave me so much and I want to stay involved just to give back what I can and make this organization what it should be and give the fans, the team and the broadcast and the show that it’s fun, we’re having a great time and come celebrate, come support. … Man, it would be an injustice to try to put into words what this means.”
Curry also currently serves as the team’s ambassador and television analyst.
Curry will join Bobby Phills as the only two players who have their jerseys retired by the Hornets.
