Steph Curry travels with Warriors on road for first time since injury

For the first time since breaking his hand back in late October, Stephen Curry traveled with the Warriors on a road trip.

With each tick that comes off the clock in 2020, there seems to be a new piece of news that rolls out regarding Golden State Warriors guard, Stephen Curry.

The two-time Most Valuable Player has missed 35-of-39 games this season with a broken hand, yet of late, it’s been more positive than negative surrounding his injury.

Early in January, Curry was spotted working out alongside NBA Hall of Famer and Golden State assistant coach Bruce Fraser. Since then, Curry has been shooting without a brace or any wrap on his hand.

Prior to working out with his surgically repaired non-shooting hand, Steve Kerr mentioned that Curry was able to travel with the team if he wants to go on the road with the Warriors.

Since injuring his hand against the Phoenix Suns in late October, Curry hasn’t been able to attend one road trip. In the meantime, the sharpshooter has served as the Warriors leading supporter off the home bench.

That all changed when Curry joined Golden State for a quick, two-game road trip with stops against the Los Angeles Clippers and Memphis Grizzlies.

Before tipping off with the Clippers, the Warriors had a shootaround at the UCLA gym in Pasadena, and Curry popped up again, this time shooting next to Draymond Green.

Although it’s evident Curry is progressing through his hand rehabilitation, the Golden State Warriors haven’t waivered from their initial February 1 evaluation date for their All-Star shooter. With Golden State’s record sitting at the bottom of the Western Conference standings, there’s no reason to hurry the centerpiece of the franchise back before he’s 100 % healthy.

However, if Curry can bring that same type of energy on the road that he brings to the Chase Center arena in San Francisco, the Davidson product traveling with the team will be well worth it.

There is no doubt the Warriors play a better brand of basketball with their two-time MVP in attendance. When the team is currently riding a seven-game losing streak, they need any extra boost they can get.
