Bad news for the Golden State Warriors and the fans of his basketball style transcended this Sunday afternoon when the Californian franchise confirmed the injury of Stephen Curryafter carrying out some in-depth studies.
The number 30 and figure of the Warriors was replaced last Saturday after a severe blow to his left leg against Luka Doncic’s Dallas Mavericks and since then the leaders and fans of the franchise feared the worst.
The base of the last champions of the NBA suffered partial tears in the superior tibiofibular ligaments and interosseous membraneas well as suffered a bruise in the lower part of the left leg, as explained by the Warriors themselves on their social networks.
The hit occurred accidentally while defending one of the Dallas players who was trying to attack the rim. In that quick instant, his opponent collided her knee with her leg and caused the injury that Curry immediately felt.
This way, the last MVP of the finals will miss the NBA All-Stars that will take place from the 17th to the 19th of this month in Utah and he will not be able to be with his team for several games either. In addition, Curry was the one who was left with the MVP trophy of the All-Star Game last season, when he scored 50 points making 16 triples in total, an absolute record in the League.
As stipulated by the Golden State medical staff, it will be at least three weeks of recovery and rest, until he can return to training alone and then with his teammates.
This is an extremely sensitive loss for Steve Kerr’s team that, on top of that, is not having a good season in general. With 27 wins and 26 losses, they are seventh and for the moment out of the Playoff positions, although within the Playin that gives the winners two chances to join the postseason.
His coach spoke after the match and was very positive about his recovery.
