Curry’s left knee collided with that of Dallas Mavericks point guard McKinley Wright IV during the Warriors’ 119-113 win on February 5. As a result, he incurred partial tears to his superior tibiofibular ligaments and interosseous membrane along with a contusion to his left lower leg.

“We know we are going to be without Steph for the foreseeable future, so same thing as what happened the last time he went down … we patch things together,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said with regard to Curry’s absence. “The guys strung together a five-game winning streak. We held down the fort. That’s the plan this time, too.”

Heading into the final 24 games of the season, Kerr insists that his team must “tighten up” regardless even as several key players remain unavailable. The Warriors are currently ninth in the Western Conference standings.

“He’s working out on the court, and the two-week mark to re-evaluate him this weekend,” Warriors general manager Bob Myers confirmed. “There have been no setbacks, so (Friday) would be a hope. That’s what we would be shooting for, something in that range when he could be back. He’s been, not contact, but out there doing all this stuff. He looks like the same guy. He’s got a sleeve on his shoulder and arm.”

Curry injured his shoulder during the Warriors’ 119-125 loss to the Indiana Pacers on December 14 when he bumped into the Pacers’ Jalen Smith in the third quarter.

Wednesday night’s 122-119 loss to the Detroit Pistons sees the Warriors go 6-5 without their star point guard. The team now finds itself within reach of a playoff spot. Ranked ninth in the Western Conference, the Warriors are tied with the eight-placed Phoenix Suns and are a game behind the sixth-placed Los Angeles Clippers.

Speaking with the reporters during recent Bucks’ media say, Antetokounmpo said that he doesn’t believe he is the best in the world at the moment. Instead, he thinks that the Golden State Warriors’ Steph Curry should receive this honor because he led his team to a championship.

“I think the best player in the world is the person that is the last man standing,” Antetokounmpo said. “It’s the person that takes his team to the Finals, the finish line, and helps them win the game. … that’s how I view it. I believe the best player in the world is Steph Curry.”

The Top 100 panel wasn’t as high on Curry as Antetokounmpo, voting the Warriors’ superstar as the fifth-best player in the world. In front of Curry were also Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers), Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks), and Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets).

Giannis Antetokounmpo helped the Bucks win an NBA title in 2020-21 but couldn’t carry them over the finishing line this past season. Despite Antetokounmpo delivering a playoff performance for the ages that saw him average 31.7 points, 14.2 rebounds, and 6.8 assists per game, Milwaukee was eliminated in the second round by the Boston Celtics.

Before meeting the Bucks, the Warriors were on a three-game losing streak and had just one win in their last eight games. It appeared that this trend would continue as Golden State entered the final four minutes of the contest with a 10-point deficit.

After Kelly Oubre Jr. made a three-pointer to cut into the Bucks’ lead, Curry, who had poured in 30 points by then, got the Warriors within reach. The 33-year-old sharpshooter scored five points, including a 29-foot three-pointer, on back-to-back possessions and set up a thrilling finish.

With 30 seconds on the clock, Milwaukee’s Jrue Holiday grabbed an offensive rebound after Pat Connaughton’s three-point attempt and scored a layup to give his team a 121-120 advantage. On the other end, Oubre went to the free-throw line after Brook Lopez’s foul and made it 121-122 for the Warriors.

The Bucks had 7.7 seconds to score, but the Warriors’ defense managed to come through. Andrew Wiggins first blocked Khris Middleton’s three-point attempt, and then Connaughton couldn’t get a good shot despite an offensive rebound in the paint.

Steph Curry was the man of the moment on Tuesday night with 41 points, six rebounds, and two assists. He shot 14-21 from the field, including 5-10 on three-pointers.

Holiday headlined the Bucks’ box score, scoring 29 points with five assists, while Middleton added 28 points and seven assists.

The win now has the Warriors at No. 10 in the Western Conference with a 24-27 record and 1.5 games ahead of the New Orleans Pelicans. The Bucs are No. 3 in the East, sitting 2.5 games behind the leading Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers.

By draining a three-point shot in the first quarter of a 128-129 win against the Chicago Bulls, Curry reached 2,500 made three-pointers in his career and became just the third player in NBA history to get there. He is now in the company of Hall of Famer Reggie Miller (2,560) and two-time NBA champion Ray Allen (2,973).

Curry is also the fastest of the trio to get to this number, needing only 702 games. For comparison, Allen needed 1,021 games while Miller achieved it in 1,288 games.

After only playing five games last season due to an injury, Stephen Curry had trouble finding his shooting rhythm to start the 2020-21 season and is currently making only 25.7 percent of his threes. However, it isn’t hard to see this trend ending soon, especially considering a recent practice video that saw Curry hit 103 consecutive three-pointers during a practice.

Curry currently owns several league records for three-pointers, including the most made in a single season with 402, and the record for most consecutive regular-season games with a made three-pointer with 157. He also led the league in made threes five times.

Speaking with reporters on Monday, Curry admitted that he has ongoing talks with the team about a new deal.

“We have conversations,” said Curry when asked whether he’ll sign an extension with the Warriors. “Everything’s on the table right now.  

Curry added that he’s letting the negotiations “play out the way they should”, but reiterated that he wants to be a Warrior for life.

The 32-year-old sharpshooter inked his last deal back in 2017, signing a maximum five-year, $201 million contract with the Warriors. If the organization decides to offer him another extension before the 2020-21 season starts, Curry would be eligible to get three more years and $156 million.

Despite the big numbers, it’s certainly a no-brainer for Golden State to give Steph Curry such an extension. Since they drafted him with the No.7 pick in 2009, Curry revitalized the franchise and established it as arguably the most dominant team in the past decade.

During his time with the Warriors, Curry led the team to three NBA titles and five NBA Finals appearances. He also earned numerous individual accolades, including the two NBA MVP Awards.

“That is the plan, for sure,” – Curry told ESPN. “You know, obviously knock on wood, you don’t want any injuries or things like that to interfere.”

Curry made his international debut at 2007 FIBA Under-19 World Championship, where he helped Team USA win a silver medal. Later, he was part of the teams at FIBA World Cups in 2010 and 2014, winning gold medal both times.

However, if he ends up playing in Tokyo next year, that would be the first time for Curry to compete at the Olympics. The two times NBA MVP was close to playing for Team USA at 2016 Olympics in Brazil, but withdrew himself from consideration due to injury concerns.

“Definitely wanna go,” – he added. “I’ve never been on the Olympic team. I’ve been on two World Cup Championship gold medal teams. But the Olympics is the experience that I want. And next year will hopefully be it.”

Several other high-profile players hinted that they could be part of Team USA at the 2020 Olympics including Curry’s teammate Draymond Green and Los Angeles Lakers’ superstar LeBron James.

Houston evened the series after a tight 112-108 win at home against the Golden State Warriors, showing that they have the mettle to push the back-to-back defending NBA Champions to their limits.

James Harden, once again, put his team on his back with a 38 point performance. The bearded slasher shot 17 three-pointers and made 6 of them. It wasn’t his most efficient performance, but it was a typical Harden. He scored in volume and got the job done.

Harden’s barrage was enough to withstand the Warriors’ two-pronged attack of Kevin Durant and Steph Curry. Durant, with 34 points, and Curry, with 30, kept things close all night, but ultimately couldn’t overcome Houston in the game’s final stretch.

Harden got help from Eric Gordon and PJ Tucker, who scored 20 and 17 points, respectively. Tucker also grabbed 10 rebounds, turning in a double-double performance.

Now, with the series tied at 2 apiece, this matchup could go either way.

The two teams will meet for a pivotal Game 5 showdown on Wednesday night in Oakland.

Golden State felt cheated by the referees after several controversial calls in crunch time on Friday night.

The Warriors’ loss saw them lose their slight advantage over the Denver Nuggets for the #1 seed in the Western Conference. Both teams are now tied with a 51-24 record, with 6 games left to go in the season. Either team has an equal chance of winning home-court advantage throughout the playoffs.

The Warriors were especially upset after Friday’s game because they felt that they were unfairly treated by the officials. The team was especially upset with a “phantom” foul call as time expired in overtime. At this point, the two teams were tied 130-130.

Referee Marat Korgut called a foul on Kevin Durant after a lob pass to Wolves forward Karl-Anthony Towns. Despite the contact on the play, the ball appeared to have been traveling far over Towns’ head and out of bounds.

Nonetheless, a fall was called and the Warriors watched helplessly as Towns made one of two free throws to seal a win for Minnesota.

Golden State will attempt to get back some momentum in their next game against Charlotte on Sunday night.

The 120-117 final score reflects what wasn’t a close and back-and-forth matchup all night.

The win cushions Golden State’s Western Conference advantage, moving them to 44-19 and extending their lead in the conference to 1.5 games over Denver.

The 76ers dropped to 4th in the East with their tough home loss, falling behind the Indiana Pacers. They are now 40-23.

The Sixers let a glorious opportunity go by. They controlled the game in the first half, leading Golden State by 12 points at the break. They weren’t able to hold on to their lead, however, as the Warriors finally pulled ahead in the fourth quarter.

Kevin Durant led Golden State’s scoring attack with 34 points. He also collected 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

Steph Curry and DeMarcus Cousins both stepped up with big performances as well, scoring 28 and 25 points, respectively.

Ben Simmons has a fantastic game in his team’s loss, collecting a triple double. He scored 25 points and also racked up 15 boards and 11 assists.
