How long is Stephen Curry out for? Will he return in time to bring the Golden State Warriors out of the bottom half? Every NBA fan has been left to wonder these details.
Stephen Curry is the defending NBA Finals MVP and had recently tied Michael Jordan for scoring the second-most 50-point games after turning 30. They have 6 in the bag. Steph is averaging 30 points per game for the Warriors with an average 6.6 rebounds and 6.8 assists.
Stephen Curry was on the bench in the game against New York Knicks, “This is an interesting one just because I haven’t had an injury like this on the shoulder, so it’s a wait and see approach,” he said on the TNT coverage.
“I’m still in the early healing process, so I’m nowhere near picking up a basketball yet. It’ll be a few weeks. Maybe we’ll get to the new year, and I’ll start to key in on a timeline from there,” added 4-time NBA Champion.
In the game between Golden State Warriors and Indiana Pacers, Stephen Curry suffered a shoulder subluxation in the 125-119 loss. The point guard scored 38 points in the game before retiring from it. He wished to be back at the earliest but as he spoke, the injury is something he hasn’t seen before.
The Warriors are now at a record of 15-17 following their latest loss against the Knicks. Knicks outpowered the team from San Fransisco closing the 4th quarter in with 13-32 in their favor. For now, the defending champion would have to fight without their leading warrior.
The 2022 NBA Champion might be eyeing the playoff spot until their MVP returns but with their recent performances, that seat seems far away. Stephen Curry is leading the NBA in three-pointers made this season, averaging 5.
