The Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is set to remain on the sidelines, with the team planning to reevaluate his lower left leg injury in another week’s time. So far, the point guard has missed five games as a result of the setback.
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.
