Stephen Curry will be approximately one week away from the courts due to a quad contusion, pending how he responds to treatment, as reported by sources to ESPN. An MRI conducted this Thursday confirmed both the contusion and a muscle strain, and Golden State Warriors announced that the player will be reevaluated within a seven-day period. The Bay Area team is going through tough times.
The point guard left the court in the final minute of the 104-100 loss against the Rockets in San Francisco. Despite the initial scare, internal assessments suggest that Curry has avoided a more serious injury. After the game, Steve Kerr expressed some relief upon hearing the diagnosis: "When I heard it was the quad, I felt relieved. It's better than an ankle or knee issue."
The injury occurred after several physical plays in the final quarter. With 3:24 left to play, Curry attempted to draw a foul on offense against Amen Thompson but fell after receiving a shoulder bump, and the referees called a defensive foul. Shortly after, during a drive, he was charged with an offensive foul in a play that Kerr unsuccessfully challenged. From then on, the point guard showed clear signs of pain and limited mobility.
With 35.2 seconds left and the Warriors down by five points, Curry spoke with Rick Celebrini, the team's medical staff, who decided he should not continue. Both immediately headed to the locker room.
Serious problems for the Warriors
This absence comes at a delicate moment for Golden State. The loss to Houston left the Warriors with a record of 10-10 after a promising 4-1 start. Amid frustration over recent results, both Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green have expressed concerns about the team's defensive level. The Warriors conclude their current home game series against the Pelicans on Saturday and host the Thunder on Tuesday, both games likely without their main offensive leader.
