March 21: Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said Curry underwent an MRI after the game, according to Anthony Slater of The Athletic (Twitter video link).
“He thought he might be able to come back” into the game, Kerr said. “We just decided not to risk anything. So hopefully it’s not bad.”
March 20: Warriors superstar Stephen Curry suffered a hard fall on his back following a drive on Thursday vs. Toronto, grabbing his tailbone and being down on the ground in pain for a while, The Athletic’s Marcus Thompson II relays (Twitter link).
He went into the locker room, with general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. later following him. Curry was then quickly ruled out due to a pelvic contusion, according to Andscape’s Marc J. Spears (Twitter link).
It’s an obviously unfortunate situation for the streaking Warriors, who have won 15 of their last 18 games. During that stretch, Curry is averaging 28.1 point and 6.1 assists while making 40.5% of his 12.5 three-point attempts. As the Warriors continue to win, they’ve looked like formidable Western Conference contenders. Entering Thursday night’s game, they are 2.5 games behind the fifth-seeded Grizzlies.
It’s not clear how much time the injury would force Curry to miss, if any beyond tonight. Any missed time would be a blow to Golden State. The Warriors held on to defeat the Raptors and win their 41st game.
Prayers up.
Let him rest up. Butler can carry the team!
The Podz and Butts heat culture crew…
General soreness hasn’t carried any team anywhere…
You need to find his heir apparent, I’m sure someone out there, young with Steph like traits a free agent that can develop with the young core they already have. A young C (Post is 25) the same young age as the PG (20-23)
No one with Curry-like skills is going to be a Free Agent at this time of year, or ever. Post is definitely not old. He has a good 10 years ahead of him.
This is like saying there is an MJ like talent out there lol
Like traits. I didn’t say a literal Steph Curry shooter is out there Brabo. We will be having many more Curry’s than having another MJ talent.
What are we getting excited about…. Someone making open 3 point shots in the weakest era of zero defensive effort and no dribbling skills. Maybe when we see actual defense being played then we would see how great he is. If Steve Kerr had the green light to fire and he was in this generation they would be saying the same thing but Kerr had to play with real defense, coaches, the real basketball game, etc etc etc so he wasn’t aloud like others and many many many many many others who didn’t have the green light, zero basketball IQ, running around, all 30 teams switch on defense, it’s ugly out there
You think Steve Kerr would’ve had similar success shooting the ball as curry if he’d been given the green light to shoot it whenever?
I’m surprised Scarlett666 isn’t on here saying that the only reason the Warriors won tonight is because no team has ever scouted them.
I have never heard that one before, I will be adding it to my list of replies
Out in round 1.
No
That’s if they’re healthy…
Play in teams aren’t guaranteed to see round 1…
Everyone wants to be like Curry that even scrubs launch nine threes a game
This is a really weird injury to get…would not surprise me one bit if it had to do with the Momentus tech. Probably still working out the kinks. Irresponsible of Lacob. Watch this one closely folks…
This was actually not the momentus Tech pilot program causing the injury, but rather Gravitus tech from 30 inches above the surface of the earth. Been around since Cain and Abel fell hard for it east of Eden. It happens less often today because of padding, grass, and/or wood, but Lacob is on the committee of finding a viable solution.
I’m not familiar with Gravitus, but it doesn’t surprise me that Lacob is mixed up in even more space tech.
Not even a foul called on him getting body slammed. Any other star gets free throws. Refs were letting Curry get pushed and held on game without foul calls.
