Blazers’ guard Seth Curry said he received a text from his brother Steph soon after the Blazers defeated the Denver Nuggets Sunday in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals.

“He texted me right after the game,” Curry told reporters after the game. “He said, ‘I’ll see you Tuesday.’ I’m looking forward to it.”

Seth and the Blazers advanced to face Steph and the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference finals. Game 1 of the series is Tuesday in Oakland.

The Curry brothers will face each other in a playoff series for the first time in their careers. The duel also marks the first time a set of brothers have ever met in an NBA conference final, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

Per @EliasSports, Warriors guard Stephen Curry & Trail Blazers guard Seth Curry are the first brothers ever to meet in the conference finals and the first brothers to play against each other in any round since Marc Gasol (Grizzlies) & Pau Gasol (Spurs) in the 2017 First Round. — Warriors PR (@WarriorsPR) May 12, 2019

Steph and the Warriors will be playing in their fifth consecutive conference final. Seth will be making his first appearance in a conference final round. Seth said it will be nice to play in a conference final instead of watching his brother from the stands.

“So many years I’ve watched Steph play in the Western Conference final, the NBA finals - being in the crowd,” Curry said. “It’s going to be fun to be out there on the court, competing to get to the Finals. It’s a dream come true for us two.”
