climb to No. 22 on the scoring ladder.<\/a> Surpassing Carter was significant for Curry for a very personal reason. His father, Dell Curry, played with Carter for three seasons in Toronto at the end of his career.<\/p>\n\u201cThere are certain names that are a little more special than others, because of past history,\u201d Curry admitted to reporters in Orlando.<\/p>\n
Up next on the list is Kevin Garnett, who finished his career with 26,071 points. John Havlicek, Hall of Famers Paul Pierce, Tim Duncan, Dominique Wilkens and Oscar Robertson are all within 1,000 points of Curry as well, as is active guard Russell Westbrook.<\/p>\n
Aside from the loss though, there was more bad news for Curry on what could have been a celebratory night. He told reporters he is dealing with a sore ankle that he injured against San Antonio.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose are the things you try to continue to play through as you try to build momentum,\u201d Curry said. \u201cWe\u2019re looking at how it responds, because I did it again first half tonight, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s anything crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Curry has dealt with ankle injuries throughout his career, most recently in January against the Wizards.<\/p>\n
Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters that he and the performance staff will \u201cdetermine\u201d whether or not the veterans \u2014 Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green \u2014 will play on Wednesday on the second night of a back-to-back in Miami. All three logged more than 30 minutes against the Magic.<\/p>\n
During the road trip, Kerr expressed a desire to give the veterans at least one day off during the trek across the country, and the older players have played in each of the five other road games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Despite laboring on an injured right ankle, Steph Curry still found a way to score 34 points and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":293038,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[49,3335,48,8217,459,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-293037","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nba","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-california","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-golden-state-warriors","12":"tag-nba","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293037","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=293037"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293037\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/293038"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=293037"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=293037"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=293037"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
