The Golden States Warriors are facing another injury headache. Their superstar point guard Stephen Curry has been diagnosed with a left leg injury and will reportedly miss several weeks.
Curry got hurt during a 119-113 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday. He collided with the Mavs’ McKinley Wright late in the third quarter and swiftly left for the locker room. The 34-year-old player had 21 points up to that moment.
According to reports, Curry won’t be back until after the All-Star break. Golden State’s head coach Steve Kerr confirmed that his star player would miss some time on Sunday but didn’t give any timetable on his possible return.
“I think the main thing is he’s going to be out for a little bit,” said Golden State’s head coach Steve Kerr. “We’re going to reevaluate in a few days. And the good news is, he’s going to be back. We don’t exactly know when, but it’s not an injury that’s going to keep him out for the season. He’s going to come back this season, and hopefully sooner rather than later.”
Stephen Curry already missed time this season. He sat out 11 games in December and January while nursing a shoulder injury. When healthy, Curry has been his phenomenal self, averaging 29.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 6.4 assists per game while shooting 42.7 from behind the arc.
The Warriors are currently sitting eighth in the West with a 27-26 record. They are 2.5 games behind the Los Angeles Clippers at No. 4 but also just 2.5 games ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers, who sit at No. 13.
