[33] After scoring 24.3 points per game in Las Vegas, Curry earned All-NBA Summer
League honors. On July 22, he signed a two-year, $2 million contract with the
Sacramento Kings.[35][36] Billed as a "shooting point guard trapped in a point
guard's body", Curry's three-point shooting was one of the main reasons why the
Kings signed him, because and outdoor shooting has long been King's Achilles' heel.
[37] He made his debut. for the Kings on October 30, recording two points, a
rebound and an assist in a 132–114 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.[38] On November
28, he scored 9 on 3-for-4 shooting and 3-on-3 3-pointers in a win over the Golden
State Warriors. On February 26, 2016, Curry played extended minutes in the Kings'
117–107 win over 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
career-high 19 points and 4 rebounds.[40] On March 25, he made his career debut,
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 win over
the Portland Trail Blazers. 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 from the bench in a 114–112 win
over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Two days later, he recorded his first career
double-double with 20 points and 15 assists in 38 minutes as the starting point
guard, helping the Kings beat the Phoenix Suns 105–101. ]

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offered Curry a qualifying offer, but on July 3 the team rescinded their qualifying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