4:50pm: Curry has been officially diagnosed with a left shoulder subluxation, the Warriors announced (via Twitter). The team hasn’t provided an official return timeline yet, but Charania said on The Rally (Twitter video link) that Curry is not expected to need surgery and will likely miss around a month with the injury.
Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports (via Twitter) that the “prevailing sense” is that Curry will miss around three-to-four weeks, noting that the Warriors play 10-to-12 games during that period of time.
4:00pm: Imaging has revealed that Curry suffered a labral left shoulder injury, reports Shams Charania of The Athletic (via Twitter). Charania reveals that his status will be reassessed in two weeks.
2:51pm: Warriors All-NBA point guard Stephen Curry will be sidelined for at least a couple weeks with a left shoulder injury, sources inform Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN (Twitter link).
Curry injured the shoulder against the Pacers on Wednesday during the third quarter of a 125-119 loss, and was set to undergo imaging on Thursday. The Warriors are in Philadelphia tonight ahead of a Friday matchup against the Sixers. Per Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area (via Twitter), Curry will be getting an MRI today and the team is set to announce further information on the exact nature of the ailment by tomorrow morning.
Golden State, the defending league champion, has gotten off to a relatively lackluster 14-15 start thus far in 2022/23. Without its best player, the 2022 NBA Finals MVP, for multiple weeks, the team will need further offensive output from key backcourt players like Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole to stay afloat.
As Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer notes (via Twitter), the Warriors sport a stellar 118.9 offensive rating and a +7 net rating with Curry on the court, while those numbers fall to a 99.9 offensive rating and a -11.1 net rating without him. Six of the Warriors’ next 10 games come against teams with winning records, though a majority of them will be home matchups. Golden State boasts a 12-2 record at Chase Center, but of course most of those wins have come with a healthy Curry.
They spent a bunch of $ acquiring Ryan Rollins. Time for a lil return on that investment… link to m.youtube.com
Amen !!
Speaking of Bay Area legends. Amen up next.. link to m.youtube.com
Haha !! Love it…, nice looking player too. Good clip.
I do want to see Rollins playing PG. Now maybe Wiseman can come up too and play a part in the team chances. If I see a lot of minutes from Jerome the season is over.
The team just Recalled both Rollins and Wiseman from the GLeague.
” Now James, we’re gonna make this simple for you. Don’t worry about Scoring, just keep your Body between the Rim and Joel Embiid. And box him out when there is a missed Shot. Don’t leave your Man to cover up for Poole’s matador defense, because that is part of the reason why your Plus/Minus was so bad that we had to send you down to the GLeague .. “
I want to see Rollins in there and no Jerome.
how Kerr could put in Jerome and Lamb as his first reserves off the Bench last night boggles the mind and cost us the game. Should have been Kuminga and Moody. Or Kuminga and JaMychal.
Gave up 47 points in the 2nd Quarter.
@ganggreen…aka. The Big Man whisperer. At least you aren’t getting all excited about Centers that couldn’t even earn G-League minutes.
@ ARC2, we could use your Thoughts over here:

lamb to me is OK he does foul a lot but can shoot. Why isn’t Moody playing over Jerome? Jerome is terrible on defense. Warriors lack a PG to back up Curry.
Christmas Game ruined
You are a big picture guy apparently.
Small one game payback for the Grizz. Morant was out last year in the playoffs so Memphis wants to give a glimpse of what will be perhaps in this year’s playoffs.
I expect a strong showing and sending a message from the Grizzlies Christmas day.
They haven’t even had a MRI YET? Curry probably faking his injury to get some help before trade deadline. His way of saying I need help cause these guys suck! Klay needs to wake up and start playing back to backs!!! Kerr also needs to stop playing with rotations!!! Ummm not working thru almost half a season!!!!! Warriors get 7th seed and still win it all due to Curry playing like a God!
Your view of Steph’s and the Warriors Organization’s relationship is wild
49ers and Raiders. Says everything I need to know about you.
Probably wears those split caps with Giants/A’s or 49ers/Raiders lol
I do have a split signed rice jersey thank you… idiot
Bay Area!!!!!! Unlike Reno!!! Lol
Las Vegas is in the Bay?
Lol ok I was wrong but come on give the man some help
You must be using new math. 29 games is not half of an 82 game season. The team has definitely improved since Kerr has been fiddling with the rotation. They were like 5 games under .500 and only played 20.
The Raiders left the Bay Area 30 years ago.
Huh. Seems like the Raiders were in Oakland until 2019. I’m not good at math, but…
Always going to be Oakland raiders…. No matter we’re they move
Except, they don’t play like Oakland Raiders. Their glory days are long gone.
ugh – get well soon Steph!
This is a MASSIVE problem for Golden State. He has held up Golden State all year. Not good.
Nooo now we have to watch Poole with the ball in his hands even more… :(
$30 million starting next year.
I know it’s never good to see your aging star go down for an extended period, but I think they’ve needed to figure out how to win when he’s not on the floor anyway. This will force them to become a good team without him, cuz they obviously weren’t gonna be real contenders without doing so.
This could be a disaster or it could be the push that Poole, Klay, Kuminga, etc. need to come together, step up and stabilize a Curry-less Warriors. He could come back to a playoff caliber squad and put them over the top for a legit championship run.
Or it’s the end of the dynasty, wtf do I know.
Here’s hoping it’s the former!
Might be a blessing in disguise actually. Front office and coaching staff will really be in the spotlight without Steph
The Warriors are a tough watch this year. It’s a big enough sample size to either do something (trade wise) or realize it’s a super long shot to compete beyond a low playoff seed this year. Have looked bad from the start
They were not good last year. Look how that turned out.
“Curry will be getting an MRI today and the team is set to announce further information on the exact nature of the ailment by tomorrow morning.”
1 hour later…
“Imaging has revealed that Curry suffered a labral left shoulder..”
Well I guess they didn’t terminate the leaker of the Draymond punch video…
Still got a good shot at the 10 seed.
They’re .500 WITH Curry having an MVP type season. What will they look like without him for a month? Yikes.
They have 53 more games to go.
I don’t see what people are worried. The Warriors struggled in the Regular Season last year. They were nowhere close to being a playoff team. Kerr and Myers said that during the season. But, they pulled it all together. Wiseman is finding his game. Iggy is getting healthier. That will be like adding two players. The second unit has been stabilized, and they are beginning to understand what they need to do. They have the roster space to add a veteran after buyouts take place. There is no reason to make a trade.
I am definitely not worried.
If the Warriors need Iggy to get their season on track, they’re in trouble.
The Warriors season is on track. They are not even near the half way point and they are playing .500 ball.
RIP Warriors
If he can return in a month, it could make them a stronger team for the playoffs. They’re too reliant on him right now, and that’s a hard habit to break without an obvious alternative. If he (unexpectedly) needs surgery after a month, then his season is pretty much over.
Let’s all see what Poole does now……..
I’m watching
Haliburton used him, in first loss without Curry.
10-12 gms ok
0-1 to start. Poole 33 mins, 20 pts
Haliburton 34 mins, 29 pts
Next up Sixers in Philly.
Warriors on a 6gm East coast trip. Lost to Bucks. Lost to Pacers. Sixers, Raptors, Knicks, Nets are all waiting. 0-2 so far.
