The Golden State Warriors lost Stephen Curry to an injury during their previous game with the Indiana Pacers. The team’s leading scorer got sidelined with an injury to his shoulder and was taken to the locker room before the game ended. Seeing Curry being escorted to the locker room was certainly a concerning sight for Warriors fans. But an injury update was given by the Warriors’ front office recently which might indicate his return sooner than expected.
After losing to the Pacers, the Warriors have lost three out of four games without Curry. In fact, they lost their last two games by 30-point margins to the Brooklyn Nets and the New York Knicks respectively.
