Stephen Curry issued a rare public defense of his wife Ayesha after a cascade of apologies from former NBA stars over criticism of her starring role in a Roku holiday movie.

The controversy began when Ayesha Curry's appearance in the Roku romantic comedy 'Second Chance Holiday' drew criticism, prompting apologies from Gilbert Arenas, Nick Young and Emmanuel Acho, each expressing regret for offending the Currys.

Curry's public response came alongside news that he will miss at least two weeks after an oblique abdominal tear, sidelining him for the Warriors.
