Stephen Curry Injury Update: Warriors Star’s Return Timeline Disclosed by Shams Charania

The Golden State Warriors have looked nowhere near their best this season. They have significantly underperformed, as they currently languish in the final play-in spot of the Western Conference. Stephen Curry’s All-NBA caliber performances have been a bright spot amidst an otherwise lackluster season for the Warriors. However, fans of the Warriors were dealt a hammer-blow after Curry suffered an ankle injury against the Chicago Bulls.

Stephen Curry injuring his ankle is nothing new, but the timing of his injury couldn’t have been worse. With less than 20 regular season games remaining, the Dubs desperately need Curry back on the court as soon as possible. He has already missed two back-to-back games against the San Antonio Spurs. Curry would most probably also miss the game against the Mavericks after HC Steve Kerr confirmed his absence. Kerr said, “I don’t expect him to play in Dallas,” during a press conference.

Warriors’ fans are growing increasingly anxious about Curry’s injury, especially since the team has yet to disclose a timeline for his return. However, The Athletics’ Shams Charania has offered an encouraging update on Steph’s recovery from injury. During a segment on Run It Back, Shams stated that Curry’s ankle injury isn’t serious. He said, “I’m told it’s not a super serious ankle sprain, but it is an ankle sprain that would cost [Steph Curry] some time…So we’ll see, is a week a good enough amount of time for him to be ready to go by Saturday.”

The Warriors face the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday at the Crpto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The game will be of immense importance for both the teams, as they look to cement their spot for the postseason. But could the Warriors remain competitive as Steph takes time to recover?

Can the Warriors cope with Stephen Curry’s absence?

Steph suffered an ankle injury against the Bulls on 7th March. Since then, the Dubs have played two matches, both against a rebuilding Spurs’ side. They’ve split the two matchups against the Spurs, losing one and winning the other. In both games, Jonathan Kuminga managed to score over 20 points. Veterans like Klay Thompson, Chris Paul and Draymond Green have also stepped up in Steph’s absence.

In a recent post-match interview, Klay said, “We’ve been in this position before where he has had time off, and we’ve just got to do it collectively.” With less than 20 regular season games remaining, fans of the Warriors are eagerly anticipating the return of Stephen Curry and hoping that the current lineup can maintain stability until his comeback.
