Having been suffering from lower back pain for over a week, Stephen Curry now has another injury due to a strong impact in the pelvic area, making Golden State Warriors fans worried.
Taking a painful fall and landing on his lower back, Stephen Curry was in agony late in the third quarter of the Golden State Warriors’ 117-114 win over the Toronto Raptors.
The “Chef” was later able to stand up and return to the locker room, but Warriors fans are still worried because injuries to the lower back or pelvis can become complicated.
Fortunately, the worst case scenario did not happen.
According to the official update from the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry had an MRI scan and the results showed no serious damage to the pelvic area.
Curry will now rest and recover at home for the next three days. He will not be on the plane with his teammates for the trip to the Atlanta Hawks this weekend, and will be re-examined next Tuesday (Vietnam time).
Golden State will be on a road trip with six consecutive away games over the next 10 days. It is still unclear whether Stephen Curry will be able to play with his teammates in this series.
Exactly 4 years ago, Stephen Curry suffered a tailbone injury (in a similar location to his current injury) and had to sit out for about 10 days.
Considering the Playoffs are approaching, and Curry has been suffering from lower back pain for over a week, which forced him to sit out the win over Milwaukee Bucks on March 19, it is likely that the Golden State Warriors will be perfectionists.
With the presence of Jimmy Butler, the Golden State Warriors are playing very well with 16 wins in 19 matches.
In the last 7 home games, the Warriors have only lost 1 and won 6. This streak of form has helped Steve Kerr’s team climb to 6th place in the Western Conference standings, temporarily safe in the Playoffs group.
However, the Warriors will have to be cautious, especially in case Stephen Curry has to sit out for a long time because right behind them, two teams are gradually narrowing the gap: the LA Clippers and the Minnesota Timberwolves.
ESPN experts believe that Stephen Curry’s ability to play will greatly affect the Warriors’ ranking race, especially in the upcoming 6 away matches against Atlanta Hawks, Miami Heat, New Orleans Pelicans, San Antonio Spurs, Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Lakers.
