Warriors Cannot Simply Wait for Stephen Curry’s Return: The Need to Stay Competitive

NBA – For Jonathan Kuminga, the Warriors cannot simply wait for the return of Stephen Curry. They also need to be competitive when he’s not on the field.

The Warriors are not the same team without Stephen Curry, the scoring and drawing power of the shooter being the basis of Golden State’s game. It was seen again last night, with the fourth defeat in four games missed by the double MVP this season. At home, facing Spurs deprived of Victor Wembanyama and Devin Vassell…

“It was complicated” admitted Steve Kerr. “We never had control over the match. I didn’t feel like we had any confidence or energy. Their rhythm and their movements hampered us and we had some failures. I felt like we were never really in the game.”

The good news is that Stephen Curry’s sprain is not too serious and that he will be re-examined on Tuesday by the Warriors medical staff. He could therefore be back on Wednesday, against the Mavericks.

In the meantime, he will miss the second duel against the Spurs on Monday, and the Warriors, who have fallen to 10th place in the Western Conference with 33 wins for 30 losses, will have to find ways to win without him. Becoming Golden State’s second offensive weapon this season, Jonathan Kuminga

(26 points at 10/17 shooting) doesn’t want his teammates to lower their heads while simply waiting for the leader to return…

“I think we have a great team capable of competing with anyone”assures the Congolese, in comments reported by NBC Sportswho still saw that access to the circle was much more complicated when Stephen Curry was not around and that defenses could close the racket. “Of course we’re going to miss Steph, but just because he doesn’t play doesn’t mean we have to lose. Obviously he comes in and changes the game, but just because we miss him doesn’t mean we have to lose. »
