The intensity in the NBA increases massively during the playoffs, however, this sometimes leads to injuries. The first round of playoffs is underway now and already there have been injuries to some star players including Jordan Poole. Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors bounced back with a game-3 win against the Sacramento Kings at home. During the game, Poole suffered a foot injury, and there are concerns about it. Amidst this, the reigning champions are given a boost with the recovery news of a veteran.

Poole has been struggling so far in the playoffs. However, he was a major reason behind the Warriors’ title win last season making some clutch plays. So, the fans know about his potential and are worried about his injury.

Stephen Curry and the Warriors get a huge boost

Stephen Curry and the Warriors showed why they are the reigning champions with a massive 114-97 win against the Kings. It was one of the lowest-scoring outings of the Kings this season. However, the Dubs need all hands on deck to overturn the deficit and also make a deeper run in the playoffs. If Jordan Poole misses games because of injury, it will be a substantial blow to the team. However, the Warriors can count their blessings as veteran Andre Iguodala inches closer to return.

According to a report from NBC Sports, “Iguodala had the splint on his left wrist removed and could be cleared to begin light ball handling and shooting drills within the next 7-10 days.”

The 2015 Finals MVP’s experience and presence will be a huge boost for the team.
