Stephen Curry will miss at least 3 more games with a quad injury
Golden State The Warriors were without Stephen Curry for the previous two games because he is dealing with a quad injury, and he is expected miss the next few games also, according to ESPN’s Anthony Slater.
“Steph Curry won’t go on the road, says Steve Kerr. So he’ll miss the Sixers, Cavaliers and Bulls games. Kerr said he hopes Curry will be back for next Friday’s home game against Minnesota,” Slater wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
It was uncertain how long Curry would be out when he suffered the injury, but the initial timeline was at least a week. The good news is that Curry won’t be sidelined for an extended period of time, as the Warriors have already had several injuries this season.
For Curry, he’s the one player that makes everything work on the team, and when he’s not on the court, a lot of things change in terms of their approach. With Curry out, the next player to step up it has to be Jimmy Butler, and he already showed he can do that after the win against the New Orleans Pelicans, where he finished with 24 points.
During that game, the Warriors tried to use a lot of off-ball movement to let Butler work, according to Draymond Green.
“We were trying to get him like that early on,” Draymond said, via Clutch Point’s Kenzo Fukuda . “But he just kept telling us to load up. So we’ve got to make some moves. (The defense is) just loaded up (on him) and when everybody else started moving around him, that’s when it opened up gaps and he was able to do what he did. Definitely, when Steph’s not there, he definitely needs to do more of that.”
The Warriors will need an aggressive Butler for now, and he has the ability to do that.
