A rare resurgence post the All-Star break has kept Golden State Warriors playoff hopes alive. With a 33-30 record, the team sits 10th on the Western Conference points table. However, the late resurgence might not be enough as the season is closing down at a rapid pace.
Golden State Warriors has struggled with the right combination this season. While superstar Steph Curry is contributing to the best of his abilities, the rest of the support group has failed to come through. Meanwhile, amid a hinged playoff campaign, the Dubs are likely to lose their pillar, which could likely cost them the season.
Steph Curry To Skip Multiple Games With Ankle Injury
The Golden State Warriors faced a significant setback as a massive update on Steph Curry’s injury emerged. The superstar point guard rolled his right ankle during Thursday night’s 125-122 home defeat against the Chicago Bulls. Curry looked in visible discomfort as he limped back to the locker room. Subsequently, the Dubs scheduled an MRI scan to determine the exact nature and extent of the injury. Meanwhile, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN dropped the latest update on Curry’s injury status and revealed the MRI results were in the point guard’s favor. His ankle joint has sustained no significant damage, which means Curry has dodged a massive bullet. However, his return depends on how his ankle responds in the next couple of days.
Adrian further confirmed that another evaluation will take place on Tuesday, which means Steph Curry will miss the upcoming fixture against Spurs. Notably, the Golden State Warriors already went down against Spurs the other night in his absence. Thus, his prolonged absence will further cost the Dubs crucial games in the ultimate playoff push. Having said that, in Curry’s absence, other players will be required to step up and fill the void left by the superstar guard. Steve Kerr, the head coach, will likely explore different lineup combinations involving youth energy. Despite the challenges ahead, the Dubs remain optimistic about their ability to overcome adversity. Curry’s injury is undoubtedly a significant blow. But the team is determined to rally together and persevere through this challenging time. With the payoff berth at stake, the time is now for the Dubs to unleash its true potential.
