Injury Report: Steph Curry (flu) expected to make return Thursday vs. Nets

Stephen Curry is expected to make his return from his two-game absence with the flu against the Nets.

After missing four months with a broken hand injury, Stephen Curry made his long-awaited return with 20 games left on the schedule. However, his reunion with the Golden State Warriors was short-lived.

Curry has been ruled out for consecutive games after being diagnosed with the flu before the Warriors contest against the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday. The six-time All-Star returned to Golden State’s morning shootaround on Tuesday, but was still held out against Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers.

Yet, the two-time Most Valuable Player could be ready to return as soon as Golden State’s next game. Steve Kerr spoke to reporters about Curry’s illness before the Warriors tipoff against the Clippers. Golden State’s coach expects Curry to play against the Nets on Thursday.

Via Warriors SoundCloud:

I expect him to play Thursday. He wanted to play tonight, and we wouldn’t let him given that he hadn’t done anything the last three days. This is a good day for him to get a good workout, get some rest tonight and then workout again tomorrow and hopefully, everything goes smoothly and he’ll play Thursday night — that’s the plan.

In Curry’s first game back against the Raptors, the point guard scored 23 points on 6-of-16 shooting in 27 minutes.

If the Davidson product is healthy against the Nets, Curry will have 17 games remaining on the schedule to build chemistry with his new teammates going into the offseason.

Injury Report: Warriors will be without pair of former All-Stars vs the Clippers

Against Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and the Clippers, the Warriors will be without both Draymond Green (knee soreness) and Stephen Curry (flu).

After making his much-anticipated return to the court from a four-month injury absence, the Golden State Warriors will be without Stephen Curry again.

The two-time Most Valuable Player made his way back to the floor against the Toronto Raptors after missing 58 games with a broken hand.

The next game, Curry was ruled out against the Philadelphia 76ers with the flu. Following Golden State’s win against the Sixers, the Warriors’ point guard missed practice over the weekend.

According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, Curry participated in Golden State’s morning shootaround before the Clippers game.

However, Curry is scheduled to miss his 60th game of the season after being officially ruled out against the Clippers with the flu.

Making things more difficult against Los Angeles, Curry won’t be the only All-Star caliber player out for the Warriors. Draymond Green has been ruled out for his sixth-consecutive game with knee soreness.

Without Green and Curry, Steve Kerr will have to rely on Damion Lee, Eric Paschall and Marquese Chriss against Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers.

Against the Sixers, Lee and Paschall each added 23 or more points, while Chriss recorded a near triple-double with 13 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists.

With Lee taking over point guard, Mychal Mulder started at shooting guard for the Warriors against Philadelphia. The newly signed guard added 18 points on 3-of-7 shooting from beyond the arc.

The depleted edition of the Warriors will need all the help they can get against the second-place team in the Western Conference — winners of six of their last seven.

Injury Report: Draymond Green ruled out vs. Clippers, Stephen Curry questionable

Draymond Green will miss his sixth straight game with knee soreness.

The on-court reunion between Stephen Curry and Draymond Green will have to wait a little longer. Curry has missed 59 games this season with a broken hand injury and an illness. However, when he finally made his long-awaited return, Green took Curry’s spot on the injury report.

The former Defensive Player of the Year will miss his sixth straight game on Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Clippers due to knee soreness.

After being ejected against the Los Angeles Lakers, Green has only played in 10 minutes across the past eight games for Golden State. Before missing time with knee soreness, Green missed two games with a pelvic contusion.

Without Green against the Clippers, the Warriors will rely on Marquese Chriss and Dragan Bender in the frontcourt. Rookie Eric Paschall should be in line for heavy minutes after scoring 20 points or more in three of the past five games.

After missing four months with a broken left hand, Curry made his return against the Toronto Raptors, but immediately hit the injury report by the next game. Curry was ruled out against the Philadelphia 76ers with the flu. Curry missed Golden State’s recent practice with the same illness and is listed as questionable against the Clippers.

Without Curry, Damion Lee tallied 24 points to lead the Warriors to victory against the Sixers. If Golden State’s six-time All-Star can’t go against the Clippers — Lee, along with Jordan Poole and Mychal Mulder, will receive a majority of the minutes in Steve Kerr’s backcourt.

Counting down the 6 most important games left on the schedule in Steph Curry’s return

Although the Warriors are out of the playoff picture, the remaining games left on the schedule will be crucial for Stephen Curry as he returns from an injury that caused him to miss four months of the season.

Most teams at the bottom of the NBA standings are either going through a rebuild or about to start one. Yet, for the Golden State Warriors, things are a bit different.

With 20 games remaining on the season, Curry made his long-awaited return against the Toronto Raptors on Thursday, March 5. The two-time Most Valuable Player recorded 23 points on 6-of-16 shooting with seven assists and six rebounds.

How Curry adjusts to his surgically repaired hand while building chemistry with his new teammates like Andrew Wiggins and Marquese Chriss will give Golden State a glimpse of what their future could look like.

Injury Report: Steph Curry misses practice with the flu, questionable vs. Clippers

Stephen Curry is listed as questionable with the flu against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Following his return to the court after missing four months with a broken hand, Stephen Curry is back on the injury report. The two-time Most Valuable Player was ruled out with the flu for the Golden State Warriors victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night.

Curry has been diagnosed with “the seasonal flu,” according to the Warriors. Golden State confirmed Curry is not dealing with the coronavirus in a status update — “he has no specific risk factors for COVID-19.”

Curry missed practice on Sunday with the same flu. According to Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle, Curry is questionable for Tuesday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Golden State’s point guard will get another day to rest on Monday as the team has the day off.

Without their six-time All-Star against the Sixers, Damion Lee led the Warriors in scoring with 24 points on 10-of-17 shooting in 34 minutes. If Curry is ruled out against Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers, Lee will be paired with Jordan Poole and Mychal Mulder in the Golden State backcourt.

After impressive game vs. 76ers, Damion Lee gets support from Steph Curry and Kevin Durant

After Damion Lee recorded 24 points against the 76ers, Kevin Durant and Steph Curry posted support for the former two-way guard on social media.

In Stephen Curry’s return to the Golden State Warriors against the Toronto Raptors, Damion Lee quietly stole the show. The former two-way guard matched Curry with 23 points while adding five rebounds, three assists and a steal against the defending NBA champions.

However, Lee’s game was defined by how he finished. Down four points with 26 seconds remaining, the Drexel product missed two crucial free throws that followed with a missed 3-pointer. Toronto was able to seal the game with two free throws on the other end.

In Golden State’s next game on the schedule, Lee found redemption. Against the Philadelphia 76ers, the 27-year-old guard racked up 24 points on 10-of-17 shooting with six rebounds and three assists in 34 minutes.

In Golden State’s comeback win, Lee punched in a critical left-handed baseline runner while he was fouled. The Golden State guard knocked down his free throw attempt to give the Warriors a two-point lead with under two minutes remaining. In the fourth quarter alone, Lee registered seven points and three rebounds.

After his impressive night against the Sixers, Lee received support from two former Most Valuable Players.

As Lee was chosen to participate in a postgame interview, Kevin Durant shared a picture of his former two-way contract teammate on his Instagram story.

Curry missed Golden State’s comeback win against the 76ers due to the flu, but after the game, he tweeted praise for his backcourt mate.

Over the last eight games, Lee is averaging 16.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.9 assists per contest. The Baltimore native will get another chance to build off his hot play when the Warriors welcome Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers to San Francisco.
