Warriors’ Curry Leaves Pistons Game Due to Knee Soreness

Stephen Curry will miss the Golden State Warriors’ upcoming game against the Detroit Pistons due to right knee soreness. This decision comes after he played 25 minutes, scoring 23 points and making two assists, with a shooting performance of 7-of-16.

Current Status of the Warriors

During the game, no specific incident seemed to trigger the aggravation of his knee. However, video footage revealed Curry limping toward the Warriors’ locker room while the team was trailing by 14 points. The Warriors are already coping with the loss of another top player, Jimmy Butler, who recently tore his ACL.

Team Performance Without Key Players

The Warriors have faced challenges on the court since Butler’s injury. Their record stands at 2-3 in the five games following Butler’s absence.

Curry’s experience in his 17th NBA season has been notable, as he has consistently performed well for the Warriors. Before his injury, he was averaging 27.3 points, 4.9 assists, and 3.6 rebounds over 38 games. He maintained an impressive shooting percentage of 46.8 from the field and 39.0 from beyond the arc.

Looking Ahead

The Warriors will benefit from a brief respite this weekend. This break allows Curry to recover and assess his condition before their next matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday.
