On Sunday, Stephen Curry attended a star-studded dinner party hosted by former Golden State Warriors teammate Kevin Durant.
The Brooklyn Nets player and his longtime manager, Rich Kleiman, hosted a Boardroom Christmas dinner at The Nines in New York City, where Curry made an appearance, according to an insider who spoke exclusively to Page Six.
“Both Kevin and Steph embraced and got to chat and catch up,” according to a source, who added, “They were very happy seeing each other and had some quiet alone time too.”
Gayle King, Jeff Zucker, Fabulous, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Victor Cruz, CC Sabathia, and Richie Akiva were among the other famous attendees.
Kleiman is said to have given a speech and drank with Cincoro tequila to honor “connectivity and bringing people together.”
We also hear Sabathia and Justin Tuck were “deep in conversation about business” while Durant and Cruz discussed the New York Giants.
Specialty cocktails, wine, and delectable foods such as hamachi crudo, tuna tartare, endive salad, gnudi, roasted maitake, burgers, and chocolate mousse were served to guests.

Durant’s reunion with Curry, 34, comes after reports circulated this summer that the Nets power forward may be returning to the Warriors.
If the swap occurs, Curry stated that he would be thrilled to rejoin on the court with Durant, who is also 34.
“If you said, ‘Oh, KD’s coming back, and we’re gonna play with him,’ I had so much fun playing with him those three years, I’d be like, ‘Hell, yeah!’” Curry told Rolling Stone in September. “Then you have to think: What does that actually mean? What does it look like?

“You tell me I’m playing with [current Warriors teammates Andrew Wiggins, Jordan Poole, and Draymond Green], I’m like, ‘Hell, yeah!’ There’s all types of emotion and things that happen to the league.”
He continued, “If anybody’s saying that you wouldn’t entertain that conversation — no disrespect to anybody on our team — but you don’t know how things work. But you also understand, like, if we run this thing back, I’ve got complete confidence in my team that we can win it again, as constructed.”
