Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry has downplayed the hand injury that he incurred during his team’s 138-96 win over the Chicago Bulls on Friday. He winced in pain after injuring his hand during a drive during the second quarter of the game.
“Anything that involves the hands, especially the right one, you’re a little concerned. But the feeling came back, the strength came back. It hurts, but I’ll be all right,” Curry assured. Before leaving the court, Curry made a large impact on the game, scoring 19 points on 7-of-15 shooting.
The main reason for concern following his injury is the fact that it initially appeared to be a repeat of the moment that he broke his left hand after falling hard at the start of the 2019-20 season.
While convinced that the injury setback is minor in nature, Curry will be expected to miss the Warriors’ trip to Minnesota to face the Timberwolves.
Despite Curry’s absence, the Warriors expect a morale boost as Draymond Green is expected to return to the team on Tuesday to face the Detroit Pistons. This is after the forward was experiencing some left calf tightness.
