Point guard Stephen Curry, who has firmly established himself as one of the league’s all-time greatest shooters, has been sorely missed by his team due to an injury blow. The four-time NBA champion, who is nearing the twilight of his exceptional 15-year career, has garnered numerous achievements that reflect his impressive on-court abilities.
Stephen Curry sustained a recent injury in the matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Amidst a fresh update on his health status, he, alongside his Warriors’ teammates, is set to miss a crucial matchup.
Steph Curry’s injury report
Several reports claim Stephen Curry who sustained an injury in the Warriors’ recent matchup against the Timberwolves has been sidelined, with no certain return date. Shams Charania reported that the Golden State Warriors star is believed to have a sprain in his right knee, and he is undergoing further assessments to ascertain the injury.
Steph Curry who managed to play just 36 minutes before his injury blow, had an impressive 38 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 steal, while shooting 11 out of 25 from the field and 5 out of 13 from the 3-point range. Even though Stephen Curry is nearing the tail end of his career, his on-court dazzle, even in fewer minutes, has been exceptional, which could be the missing factor for the Warriors’ victory whenever he isn’t healthy.
Warriors to face Thunders without Curry, Draymond Green
The Warriors will be facing the Oklahoma City Thunder next after a disappointing display against the Minnesota Timberwolves, without the presence of both Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. In the official Warriors’ statement, Stephen Curry is expected to miss Thursday night’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
While Stephen Curry had been sidelined due to him spraining his right knee, the Warriors’ antihero Draymond Green has been suspended, owing to his last game’s actions. The league had announced that Green would miss five games, which includes the Oklahoma City Thunder game, as he chokeheld Rudy Gobert, in the altercation that occurred between the Warriors and the Timberwolves.
Meanwhile, Rudy Gobert, who wasn’t ejected in the game, was only punished with a fine of $25,000. The impact of Green’s absence in the Warriors’ game against the Thunder becomes the consequence of his unprofessional conduct. It’s only time that will tell if the Warriors, who are desperately aiming for a season turnaround, will get a much-needed victory against the Thunder, without their two stars.
