Curry Back to Training
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry missed two games last week due to an ankle injury suffered in a game against the Chicago Bulls. However, today’s news indicates that he has resumed training, but he will continue to miss the next game.
Expected Absence for Another Game
The Warriors organization stated that Curry will undergo individual training in the Bay Area and is expected to rejoin team training later this week. However, he will remain absent for the upcoming game against the Dallas Mavericks. Curry has missed a total of 5 games this season, with the Warriors recording 1 win and 4 losses, with the only victory coming against the San Antonio Spurs in the previous game.
Curry’s Performance this Season
This season, Curry has averaged 26.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 40.7%. Currently, the Warriors have a record of 34 wins and 30 losses, ranking 10th in the Western Conference, trailing the Los Angeles Lakers by 1 game.
Misses Next Game Against Mavericks
Although the Warriors secured a victory against the San Antonio Spurs today, the team still urgently needs Stephen Curry to return. Shams Charania, a reporter from The Athletic, revealed Curry’s right ankle condition, stating that he could potentially return to action as soon as Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Medical Team’s Consideration
While the Warriors desperately need Curry back, the medical team will not allow him to return unless he passes all examinations. For the Warriors, Curry’s health is paramount. The good news is that they may not have to wait too long.
Continued Absence Against Mavericks
Despite the Warriors’ need for Curry’s return, according to Shams Charania, he will be absent for at least 3 more games. Therefore, they will continue to miss his presence in the game against the Mavericks on Thursday, a crucial matchup as the Mavericks are one of the teams the Warriors are trying to surpass in the Western Conference standings.
Possibility of Return Against Lakers
Currently, the Lakers and the Warriors are ranked 9th and 10th in the Western Conference, respectively, with only 1 game separating them. Meanwhile, the Warriors are 2.5 games behind the 7th and 8th placed Mavericks and 3.5 games behind the 6th placed Suns. Therefore, there is still a possibility for changes in the standings for both teams.(Lvbet)
