Injury Report: Warriors’ Steph Curry suffers tailbone contusion vs. Rockets

Before the fourth quarter against the Houston Rockets, Steph Curry exited the contest after suffering a tailbone contusion on a fall.

In the opening contest of a three-game road swing, the Golden State Warriors paired together for an impressive performance in the team’s first stop in the lone star state against the Houston Rockets.

Through the first three quarters, the Warriors looked strong, jumping out to a commanding 15 point lead heading into the final 12 minutes of the contest. Before the fourth quarter started, the Warriors dealt with an injury.

After launching a 3-pointer, Steph Curry began to backpedal into the sideline. The seven-time All-Star stumbled and fell backward, landing directly on a metal area near the Rockets bench. Curry looked in pain from the moment he landed on the ground.

Following his tumble, Curry made a trip to the locker room. On his way to the visiting locker room in Houston, the two-time Most Valuable Player appeared to be in pain.

Shortly after entering the locker room, the Warriors ruled Curry out for the remainder of the contest with a tailbone contusion.

During Golden State’s 108-94 win against Houston, Curry finished the contest with 18 points on 7-of-18 shooting from the field with eight assists, five rebounds and a steal in 30 minutes.

Curry will have Thursday to rest before Golden State begins a tough road back-to-back against the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday.

Steve Kerr says Steph Curry is ‘probable’ for Friday’s rematch with Clippers

After tweaking his ankle late in the game on Wednesday, Steve Kerr says Steph Curry is probable for Friday’s matchup with the Clippers.

Prior to playing the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night, Steph Curry tallied 92 total points in his previous two games. However, Patrick Beverley and the Clippers limited the six-time All-Star to a season-low in scoring on Wednesday.

With the Clippers in town, Curry was held to only 13 points on 5-of-17 shooting from the field. The two-time Most Valuable Player couldn’t get into a rhythm from beyond the arc, drilling one 3-pointer on six attempts in 35 minutes.

In the fourth quarter, Curry exited the game early after rolling his ankle. The Golden State point guard will only have one off day for treatment on his ankle before the Clippers come back to Chase Center on Friday for the second contest of a two-game series.

According to Steve Kerr, Curry and four other members of the Warriors were “partial participants” at Golden State practice on Thursday.

He told me he’s feeling pretty good. It was just a light tweak. We had a very light practice. Steph [Curry], Draymond [Green], Kelly [Oubre Jr.] and Andrew [Wiggins] all just walked through some things early in the practice. And then went and got treatment when we got into a little bit of court work. They were all partial participants.

In a post-practice presser with members of the media, Kerr said Curry is “probable” for Friday night’s tilt against the Clippers.

With a history of ankle injuries, the Warriors will likely be extra cautious with the 32-year-old guard early in the season. If Curry is sidelined, Brad Wanamaker, Kent Bazemore and Damion Lee could see increased minutes in Golden State’s backcourt rotation against the Clippers.

Steve Kerr says Steph Curry’s tweaked ankle is not expected to be serious

After Steph Curry rolled his ankle at the end of the Warriors’ loss to the Clippers, Steve Kerr said the tweak isn’t expected to be serious.

After dropping 92 total points in his previous two games, Steph Curry was quiet against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night.

The Golden State Warriors’ point guard tallied only 13 points on 5-of-17 shooting from the field with five assists, four rebounds and a steal in 35 minutes.

Patrick Beverley and the Clippers’ defense crowded Curry, limiting him to only one triple on six attempts from beyond the arc. However, his only make from long-distance came on a tough contested shot after a competitive back and forth sequence with Beverley.

Via @NBCSWarriors on Twitter:

With the game winding down, a moment caused fans of the Warriors to collectively hold their breath. In the fourth quarter, Curry left the game after rolling his ankle while playing defense.

In his postgame presser with members of the media, Steve Kerr said Curry told him he doesn’t think the ankle tweak is anything serious.

He did tweak it. He told me it’s not serious. He’ll come in tomorrow and get treatment. We’ll check it out. The good news is Steph does not think it’s anything too serious.

Listen to Kerr’s full postgame presser via Warriors SoundCloud.

Curry will have Thursday to work on his ankle before the second contest of Golden State’s two-game series with the Clippers on Friday. With Curry’s ankle injury history, the Warriors will likely be cautious with the two-time NBA Most Valuable Player.

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.
