Stephen Curry will not be on the upcoming tour of the Golden State Warriors to Philadelphia, Cleveland, and Chicago due to a thigh contusion, extending his absence for at least three more games. This situation is causing great concern in the Bay Area.
Although his official reevaluation was scheduled for Thursday, coach Steve Kerr hinted at the situation and described Curry's return for the weekend as unlikely. Both he and the player himself, along with Rick Celebrini, the franchise's head of medical affairs, agreed that he should stay in the Bay Area to continue treatment.
Curry suffered the quad injury last Wednesday during the home loss to the Houston Rockets. This will force him to miss a minimum of five games, although Kerr expressed confidence that he could return on December 12 when the Warriors host the Minnesota Timberwolves. The team will have four days of rest after the tour and two training sessions before the game.
The availability of Jimmy Butler for the start of the trip, this Thursday against the Philadelphia 76ers, is also uncertain. Butler did not play the second half of the 124-112 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder due to left knee discomfort. He entered the game with a buttock contusion and has had ankle and back problems at the start of this season. The Warriors, with an 11-11 record after 22 games, have shown inconsistency in this early part of the season.
Good game against OKC
Despite falling behind by 22 points against Oklahoma City, the team reacted after halftime and even took the lead in the fourth quarter. The debut of Seth Curry played a role in this, contributing 14 points in 14 minutes off the bench. However, the Thunder responded in the final stretch. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the reigning MVP, finished with 38 points and boosted his team's record to 21-1, sending the Warriors on the road following a 2-3 series at home.
