The Golden State Warriors anticipate Stephen Curry will miss around a week with a quad contusion, depending on how he responds to treatment, sources told ESPN’s Shams Charania and Anthony Slater.<\/p>\n
Curry, who left in the final minute of a 104-100 home loss to the Rockets on Wednesday night, is believed to have avoided any serious issue, per sources.<\/p>\n
“When I heard it was a quad, I was actually relieved,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said postgame. “Better than an ankle or a knee.”<\/p>\n
The Warriors close their current homestand with the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday and the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Curry came up limping after a series of fourth-quarter collisions. He attempted to take a charge on Rockets guard Amen Thompson with 3:24 left and was bulled over with an elbow. After review, Curry was called for a blocking foul.<\/p>\n
Two possessions later, Curry drove into the lane for his own crashing layup attempt and was called for a charge. Kerr challenged the call, and it wasn’t overturned. In the aftermath, Curry moved around gingerly the next couple of minutes in obvious pain.<\/p>\n
During a timeout with 35.2 seconds left and the Warriors down five, Curry had a conversation with Rick Celebrini, the team’s lead medical decision-maker, who waved to the bench that Curry was done for the night. The two then departed to the locker room.<\/p>\n
Curry’s injury comes at a shaky time for the Warriors. Wednesday night’s loss dropped them to 10-10 through 20 games after a 4-1 start. In the aftermath, both Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green were critical of the team’s recent defensive effort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Golden State Warriors anticipate Stephen Curry will miss around a week with a quad contusion, depending on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":310646,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[49,48,77896,459,82,131697],"class_list":["post-310645","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-golden-state-warriors-sports-basketball-team-team-statscom-9","tag-nba","tag-sports","tag-stephen-curry-sports-basketball-player-player-statscom-338365"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310645","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=310645"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310645\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/310646"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=310645"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=310645"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=310645"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
