The Golden State Warriors provided an update about the injury their star guard Steph Curry suffered in a 125-119 loss to the Indiana Pacers earlier this week. According to the announcement made on social media, Curry is dealing with “left shoulder subluxation” and will be out indefinitely.
The Warriors promised to share the timeline for Curry’s return at a later date. However, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the two-time NBA MVP is expected to miss at least “a few weeks” of action.
When asked about the injury, Curry didn’t go into details but said that he is just happy that he won’t need surgery.
“Because I know the surgeries are four to six months [recovery time], and nobody wants to be dealing with that right now,” said Curry.
Before he went down, Curry had been playing some of his best basketball in the 2022-23 season, which is saying a lot considering his accomplishments. He has been averaging 30.0 points while shooting 43.4% behind the three-point line. The 34-year-old is also dishing 6.8 assists and grabbing career-high 6.6 boards per game.
The absence of Curry comes at a bad time for the Warriors, who are struggling as of late. They have lost their last three games and are currently sitting at no. 11 in Western Conference with a 14-16 record.
