What We Learned As Steph Exits Early In Warriors’ Win Over Kings
Stephen Curry left early in the Warriors’ 123-109 win over the Kings on Monday night with a left quad contusion, but it was hardly a cause for concern for a team that has been without its star player several times this season due to injury.
Curry’s Injury
Curry exited the game with just over nine minutes remaining in the third quarter after colliding with Kings’ guard Tyrese Haliburton. He immediately grabbed his left knee, and he was helped to the locker room by the team’s training staff.
The Warriors initially announced that Curry would return to the game, but he was ruled out shortly after with a left quad contusion, the same injury that cost him three games earlier this season.
The Warriors’ Response
Despite Curry’s absence, the Warriors were able to put together a dominant performance against the Kings, shooting 54.8% from the field and holding the Kings to just 39.3% shooting.
Klay Thompson led the way for the Warriors with 29 points, followed by Andrew Wiggins with 26 points and Kevon Looney with 23 points and 11 rebounds.
Impact on the Warriors
Curry’s injury is obviously a concern for the Warriors, but they have shown that they can be successful without him this season.
In the eight games that Curry has missed this season, the Warriors have gone 6-2 and have shown no signs of slowing down.
The Warriors are confident that Curry will be back soon, and they are confident that they can continue to win without him in the meantime.
Curry’s Return
The Warriors have not announced a timetable for Curry’s return, but he is expected to miss at least a few games.
The Warriors have a relatively easy schedule over the next few weeks, so Curry should have plenty of time to get healthy before the playoffs.
Conclusion
Curry’s injury is a concern for the Warriors, but it is not a reason to panic.
The Warriors have shown that they can be successful without Curry, and they are confident that they can continue to win without him in the meantime.
