Seth Curry has been absent from the Golden State Warriors’ lineup for nearly a month.
The recently signed 35-year-old sharpshooter was brought in to help elevate the Warriors’ three-point shooting. The younger brother of Golden State’s four-time NBA champion point guard, Stephen Curry, is a 43.3% career three-point shooter, which explains why the Dubs elected to bring him onboard on Dec. 1.
Unfortunately, Curry, who’s shooting 50% from deep this season, has only appeared in two contests thus far due to Scatica, leaving the Dubs without one of the best three-point shooters in the league.
That said, Curry received a positive injury update that should ease the organization and its fanbase.
“Golden State Warriors guard Seth Curry, who has missed the last 18 games due to a Sciatic nerve-related injury, was recently re-evaluated," The Warriors' PR X/twitter account stated on Saturday.
"The re-evaluation indicated that Curry is making good progress. He has progressed to various on-court workouts–in addition to his daily rehab work– and will be re-evaluated again in two weeks.”
As long as Curry is on the track to return before the start of the playoffs, the Warriors shouldn’t have anything to worry about. Curry’s experience in high-pressure situations, veteran presence, and long-range shooting prowess will undoubtedly come in handy.
Until the former Philadelphia 76ers guard is cleared for action, Golden State will have to depend heavily on its healthy three-point-oriented contributors.
