Warriors Face Challenge Without Curry
The Golden State Warriors will likely be without their star player, Stephen Curry, for their upcoming matchup against the Boston Celtics this Thursday, February 19, at the Chase Center in San Francisco. This absence will mark the sixth consecutive game Curry has missed due to a right knee injury. He was unable to practice on Wednesday and is scheduled for an assessment by the team’s medical staff, as reported by Dalton Johnson from NBC Sports Bay Area.
Curry’s Injury Timeline
Curry’s injury first raised concerns during a game against the Detroit Pistons back on January 30, where he was seen visibly struggling with discomfort in his knee. Throughout the game, he wore a knee brace and was frequently seen adjusting it, signaling the severity of the issue.
Next Steps for the Warriors
In Curry’s absence, the Warriors will need to rely on Brandin Podziemski and Pat Spencer to fill the gap left in the lineup. Podziemski has been particularly effective this season, contributing an average of 12 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.5 assists over 55 games. Meanwhile, Spencer has chipped in with averages of 6.3 points, 3.2 assists, and 2.3 rebounds across 39 games played.
Looking Ahead
Fans are eager to see how the Warriors perform without their leading scorer as they prepare to face a tough opponent in the Celtics this Thursday evening at 7 p.m. PT (10 p.m. ET).
