Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said on Sunday that he’s hopeful Stephen Curry will rejoin the team at some point during their lengthy road trip, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN tweets.
Curry suffered a pelvic contusion while taking a hard fall on Thursday against Toronto. He missed Saturday’s 124-115 loss in Atlanta and will be reevaluated on Monday.
The Warriors’ road trip will continue with games in Miami on Tuesday, New Orleans on Friday and San Antonio next Sunday. They’ll wrap up the road swing with games in Memphis and Los Angeles against the Lakers.
According to Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter link), the expectation is that Curry will join the Warriors in Miami, though his status for Tuesday’s game will depend on how he responds to treatment.
We have more on the Warriors:
- Blake Hinson has thrived with the Santa Cruz Warriors in the NBA G League, according to Spencer Davies of RG.org. Hinson went undrafted last year and had a two-way contract with the Lakers before being waived in September. The 25-year-old wing then joined the Warriors in training camp on an Exhibit 10 deal and was waived again before joining Santa Cruz in October. Hinson, who is averaging 16.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game, praises the Warriors’ development program. “They’ll sacrifice a little bit of winning to get your player development correct — but they’re not gonna do it for long. I appreciate this program for being lenient with me early, and I’m reaping the benefits of it now,” he said.
- Quinten Post has become an integral part of the rotation and has become a candidate for All-Rookie consideration. Post anticipated he’d spend most of his rookie year in the G League after getting drafted late in the second round last year, he told Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe. “I was focused on winning the G League at that point,” he said. “I was even thinking I hope I stay in the league. I hope the Warriors want to have me stick around. Playing wasn’t even something I was thinking about because I was focused on the G League. That’s crazy how fast it went after that.” He’s averaging 8.7 points and 3.8 rebounds in 16.8 minutes per night.
- Even without Curry, the Warriors were mad at themselves for losing to the Hawks on Saturday, Anthony Slater of The Athletic tweets. “Bad loss. It’s a terrible loss. Eleven games left with everything to play for, you shouldn’t have a loss like this,” Draymond Green said.
No curry, no chance
every team is that way without their best player
Some teams have a top tier secondary star…
Like the Lakers or Celtics…
when one goes down the team is not winning in the playoffs.
Dont rush Steph back, have him recover as long as he needs to. The team has to remain afloat without him and thats the reason they brought Jimmy wasnt it? So get to work
Jimmy’s overall effectivity goes way down when there’s no shooters around him.
He’s way better when he isn’t driving the bus.
Butler will not even do what Wiggins did.
Bad trade
Wiggins is better than Butler
I guess you don’t watch basketball. Do you really believe that the Warriors were better before the trade?
^ trolling take
Absurd.
Did you somehow miss the records of each team since the trade?
thinking they could win without a C was a pretty big waste of time
What do you mean? They have Center.
Yes now but they wasted a lot of time playing small ball.
Umm…They had a couple of centers all along. They are playing “Small Ball” and have won like 13 of their last 15.
I see this has gone over your head.
Nope. Not really. You must believe that only a 7 footer can be a center. Q Post’s emergence has been a pleasant surprise. But, it has nothing to do with their current turn around.
Using a rotation of Post, Looney, Dray, Jimmy, Steph will beat most of those teams.
Kerr flat out refuses to play 2 bigs on court at the same time. He always wants to go small even if it means losing. Kerr is bad at coaching.
Wiggins 35 mins 42 pts against Hornets ……..
“Was asked after game” ….. Andrew Andrew
maybe you should have saved some for Warriors game !!!!!!
Wiggins said Why ……. I got more for them.
When I get thru with them …. Davey J will buy my doll …. and apologize to it till end of year ..
This is Wiggins 10th 40 point game in 11 seasons…He is good for one next season…He could have done that for the Warriors, but never stepped up.
I guess we’ll see how Wiggins does – he certainly knows GSW more than anyone on the Heat. My guess is somewhere in the 20-25 pt range.
Great game from him vs the 2nd worst team in the weak east, no question.
Rick Barry is GS best player ever
