In July 2015, Curry joined the New Orleans Pelicans for the 2015 NBA Summer League.

[33] After averaging 24.3 points per game in Las Vegas, Curry earned All-NBA Summer
League first team honors.[34] On July 22, he signed a two-year, $2 million
guaranteed deal with the Sacramento Kings.[35][36] Considered a "shooting guard
trapped in a point guard's body", Curry's three-point shooting was a key reason the
Kings signed him, as outside shooting had long been the Kings' Achilles heel.[37]
He made his debut for the Kings on October 30, recording two points, one rebound
and one assist in a 132–114 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.[38] On November 28, he
scored 9 points on 3-of-4 shooting and 3-of-3 from three-point range in a loss to
the Golden State Warriors.[39] On February 26, 2016, Curry played extended minutes
in the Kings' 117–107 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers due to starting point guard
Rajon Rondo sitting out with an injury. In 26 minutes of action off the bench, he
recorded a then career-high 19 points and 4 rebounds.[40] On March 25, he made his
first career start, scoring 12 points in 26 minutes against the Phoenix Suns.[41]
Three days later, in just his third NBA start, Curry scored a career-high 21 points
in a 105–93 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.[42] He matched his career high on
April 1, scoring 21 points against the Miami Heat.[43] On April 9, he made a
career-high six three-pointers and scored 20 points on 6-of-10 shooting off the
bench in a 114–112 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.[44] Two days later, he
recorded his first career double-double with 20 points and a career-high 15 assists
in a career-high 38 minutes of action as the starting point guard, helping the
Kings defeat the Phoenix Suns 105–101.[45]

After the 2015–16 season, Curry declined his $1 million player option for the 2016–
17 season in order to become a restricted free agent.[46] On June 27, 2016, the
Kings tendered a qualifying offer to Curry, but on July 3, the team rescinded their
qualifying offer, making Curry an unrestricted free agent.[47]
