Stephen Curry is missing basketball.

The Golden State Warriors were among the NBA teams left out of the Orlando bubble when the league resumed its season in July, and Curry admits he felt conflicted watching the games from afar.

"Obviously I was happy to see basketball back on TV, but that first week I had major FOMO (fear of missing out)," Curry told Marc Stein of the New York Times.

He added, "Once you see Bron and Kawhi and PG go at it, and you remember how much fun it is to play in those types of games and that kind of level, you miss it badly."

Curry thinks the extended time off will be beneficial for the Warriors, who went 15-50 this season.

"Our roster kind of speaks for itself in terms of what me, Klay (Thompson), and Draymond (Green) have been through, and what we've got left in the tank," he said. "But it's on us to use this time wisely. It's just unchartered territory, whether you're in the bubble or not."

As for how he's been dealing with his FOMO, Curry said he's been spending extra time with his family and focusing on business endeavors.
