Curry’s Injury Concern Looms Over Warriors’ Narrow Loss
Stephen Curry’s night took a concerning turn during the Warriors’ matchup against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. The team confirmed that Curry sustained a right quad contusion, prompting the need for an MRI to assess the damage further.
Game Performance and Injury Details
In a game that saw the Warriors fall short, losing 104-100, Curry’s individual performance was less than stellar. He managed only 14 points on 4-of-13 shooting, alongside an uncharacteristic seven turnovers. The injury occurred during a physically demanding fourth quarter when Curry collided with Alperen Sengun with just under four minutes remaining. Shortly after that, Amen Thompson barreled into him, adding to the strain.
Curry’s difficulties continued; shortly after the collisions, he was called for a charge, underscoring how taxing the final moments of the game were for him. Ultimately, he exited the contest for good with only 35 seconds left on the clock, leaving fans and teammates anxious about his condition.
Steve Kerr’s Postgame Reaction
After the game, head coach Steve Kerr addressed the media, expressing relief that the injury was not more severe. “When I heard it was a quad, I was actually kind of relieved. Better than an ankle or a knee. So hopefully he can recover quickly and be okay,” Kerr said. His comments highlight the team’s collective concern for their star player’s health, as the Warriors brace for the potential impact of Curry’s injury on their season.
As the Warriors await the results of the MRI, the focus will shift to how quickly Curry can return to the court and what this means for the team’s performance moving forward.
