Stephen Curry will be reevaluated in 10 days as he seeks to return from the right knee injury that has kept him sidelined since January 30, ESPN’s Anthony Slater reports (Twitter link).
That means that Curry will miss at least five more games for the Warriors, following the 10 he has already missed. It was announced on February 19 that Curry would miss at least five more games after an MRI revealed no structural damage, making it unclear what the ruling will be after the 10-day waiting period is up.
Head coach Steve Kerr previously stated that the team has no interest in shutting Curry down for the season. Golden State is currently the eighth seed in the Western Conference.
Curry is averaging 27.2 points and 4.8 assists this season despite this being one of his lowest minutes per game rate of any season of his career.
Maybe next year? Tank and get that pick!
The Warriors are going to be in the play-in no matter what because the teams below the play-in line have lost a lot more games and are already tanking hard. The Warriors and Curry are not going to tank play-in games. They may lose in the play-in and have a shot at the lottery like Dallas did last year but not because they tank.
Exactly.
Next 5 games btw
Clippers
Rockets
Thunder
Jazz
Bulls
They can easily win 2+ of those. This is a nothingburger overall. Curry will be back, and he will be in “destroy everyone” mode. The Warriors can still win it all this season if everyone is healthy by mid April.
I knew California weed was good. I didn’t know it was this good.
If only they’d stop playing Draymond, they won’t lose another game!
Honestly its 5D chess to get the team totally healthy for the playoffs and then cook everyone lol
Lottery pick is a solid pick this draft. Probably can trade for a young vet. You add the right young vet and Vuc in FA. Those are two significant additions to a playoff team with Steph n Jimmy. Look to next yr.
Its’ not happening Al, GSW has already secured a postseason spot. Too many teams are tanking.
Has an above .500 team ever been talked about like they are actually cellar dwellers more than this Warriors team has?
You all need to stop the hyperbole, they are making the postseason whether you like it or not. Grow up.
They can still fall to 14. Even 15 or 16 is a nice pick to trade. Best thing is to look to next year and regroup lol. 22 gms left. Top 16 still works.
Non-zero chance he retires if he insists on running around like Richard Hamilton on offense. Already was a liability on D. I can see him successfully transitioning to a more standstill, off ball shooting threat, but not sure he would (or should) go out in that capacity.
There is definitely merit to avoiding diminishing your legacy by hanging on, obviously is a very personal choice, but I don’t think he wants to hold the franchise hostage in mediocrity while he plays 40 games a year.
I personally thinks he runs it back one more year next year and then hangs it up. If he can get through 65 games and grab an all-pro on his way out it’s probably best for everyone. No doubt he’s earned the right to choose for himself, hopefully he sticks around the game in some capacity when it’s all done.
They should shut him down. They are not winning the Larry O.
