Update On Stephen Curry's Injury
The Golden State Warriors were down and out a month and a half ago and their season looked done and dusted for the most part. But, in a massive turn of events, the GSW made a miraculous comeback and out of nowhere, they have emerged as healthy contenders to go deep into the competition. Thus, they would like to ride on the momentum and any injury or change could prove to be costly. Fortunately for them, Stephen Curry's injury won't force him out for a sizeable period, as confirmed by the Warriors by revealing his MRI report.
“The MRI indicated that Curry suffered a pelvic contusion, but no structural damage,” the Warriors said in a statement released on Friday, March 21.
But the picture is not entirely rosy as Curry will stay home and will miss the start of the Warriors’ six-game road trip against the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday, March 22.
Curry sustained the injury with 3:24 remaining in the third quarter of their 117-114 win over the Toronto Raptors. He notched 17 points in the game.
“He just kind of fell on his pelvic, tailbone area,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters after the costly win. “He was trying to come back. He thought he might be able to come back, and we just decided not to risk anything.”
The Warriors said Curry will be re-evaluated on Monday, March 24.
Following the game in Atlanta, the Warriors’ next game is on Tuesday, March 25, against the Heat in Jimmy Butler‘s homecoming game in Miami.
