Curry, the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player in June, injured himself while attempting to steal the ball from Indiana’s Jalen Smith as the Pacers drove to the basket. Curry kept his shoulder up until he left the game and was quickly taken to the locker room. Curry will undergo an MRI on Thursday, according to Warriors coach Steve Kerr, to determine the extent of the 34-year-old guard’s injury. Kerr stated, “We’ll see how he is tomorrow.”
We’ll just hope for the best because he’s in good spirits. Curry finished with 38 points, seven assists, and seven rebounds, all game highs. He finished with his 250th 30-point performance of his career and scored 27 points in the two quarters, half of the Warriors’ total for the first half when they were trailing 74-54. Reserve Bennedict Mathurin scored 24 points for the Pacers, while reserve Tyrese Haliburton scored 29 points for Indiana.
Golden State, aiming to win the NBA for the fifth time in nine years, dropped to 14-15 overall and 2-12 on the road. Kerr stated, “My message to the group was that it’s about competing and weathering the storm.” This has been a difficult season to start. We’re in an extreme stretch.” This season, Curry has scored 30 points on average and shot 50 percent from the floor. He also had 1.7 blocked shots, 6.7 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game.
The Warriors would suffer a significant setback should they lose Curry for any length of time.
“Perhaps it will get harder on the off chance that Steph is out for a brief period. It will undoubtedly be harder if he is absent, “Kerr stated. However, all you can do is persevere, play, and fight on. We believe we can defeat anyone if we are healthy.
