A second back-to-back defeat, and Stephen Curry’s injury exit. Difficult to do worse evening for the Warriors, who are now awaiting the results of the MRI on the shoulder of their double MVP.
The latter was injured while trying to challenge a shot from Jalen Smith. With his hand on the ball as the Pacers inside rose, Stephen Curry’s shoulder visibly forced. The Golden State player immediately grabbed his left shoulder, before leaving his partners…
“I was able to discuss quickly with Steph but we could not go into the details” explained Steve Kerr after the meeting. “Steph is always someone who sees the positive in life, so he wasn’t downhearted. »
The MVP of the last Finals seemed to be in a good mood in the locker room, with his shoulder wrapped in ice, talking and eating with his partners. Before this injury at the end of the third quarter, he had carried his team, deprived of Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins, with 38 points at 11/19 shooting in 30 minutes.
“He was just amazing”confirmed his coach. “He put us on his shoulders when he was on the pitch. Generating so much on offense, going down the line, serving teammates. He was brilliant. »
Which was far from the case of his teammates. While Golden State is still only 10th in the West, with a negative record (14 wins – 15 losses), the prospect of Stephen Curry’s absence is cause for concern…
“It was already complicated and if Steph is absent it will only be harder”concluded Steve Kerr. “But you have to persevere. Keep playing and fighting. It’s a long season. What makes me confident is that if we are healthy, we feel like we can beat everyone. »
