Golden State finds itself on a four-game losing streak, with several defeats coming down to the wire and some occurring without their star player in action.
Stephen Curry has been grappling with bilateral knee tendinitis, which has affected his performance and left him short of his usual form. Despite still putting up solid numbers, the former MVP has faced difficulties with his shooting efficiency and trademark explosiveness this season.
In addressing his condition, Curry acknowledged that this type of injury is new territory for him and expressed concerns about its potential to linger if not properly managed (via Anthony Slater).
As players age, injuries like this tend to become more common, and Curry is no exception. Even though he remains among the league’s elite, his situation will require close monitoring. The Warriors have still shown promise, even in games without him, but his health is crucial to their long-term success.
Head coach Steve Kerr and the coaching staff have been cautious with Curry’s minutes. Despite the team’s struggles and occasional need for an offensive boost, Kerr has been steadfast in sticking to the plan, ensuring Curry isn’t overworked.
Currently holding a 12-7 record and sitting fourth in the Western Conference, Golden State faces a highly competitive standings situation. With teams separated by slim margins, a single moment can dramatically alter the outlook for their season.
