Despite reports that a potential ownership group he planned to join had pulled out of the bidding for the Carolina Panthers, Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry said this week that he still hoped to own a piece of his hometown's NFL team.

The former NBA MVP spoke to reporters after Thursday's practice ahead of Friday night's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Curry, returning from an ankle injury, led the Warriors to a win but was forced to leave in the third quarter after spraining his knee during a collision with a teammate.

Curry indicated that he remained interested in buying a chunk of Charlotte's team, though he didn't reveal details about what he's been doing toward that goal.
