The Golden State Warriors received another discouraging injury update involving veteran guard Seth Curry.
Curry will be re-evaluated in one week after suffering a mild left adductor strain, according to Danny Emerman of the San Francisco Standard.
“Seth Curry will also be re-evaluated in a week with a mild left adductor strain,” Emerman wrote on X.
The injury represents another unfortunate setback for the 35-year-old veteran, who had only recently returned to the lineup after missing significant time earlier this season.
Seth Curry’s Injury Occurred During Timberwolves Game
Curry sustained the injury during Friday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The guard left the game with 8:12 remaining in the second quarter after colliding with Timberwolves guard Donte DiVincenzo while chasing a loose ball.
Curry immediately went to the locker room and did not return.
Before exiting, he played seven minutes, finishing scoreless on 0-for-2 shooting while adding one rebound and one assist.
Golden State later confirmed he was dealing with left adductor soreness, and further testing revealed the strain.
The injury means Curry is expected to miss at least four games before doctors re-evaluate his progress.
Difficult Timing for Warriors Veteran
The setback is particularly frustrating for Curry, who had just returned to the court after a lengthy rehabilitation from sciatic nerve irritation linked to persistent back problems.
He made his comeback on March 9 in a 119-116 loss to the Utah Jazz at Delta Center.
Despite having missed 40 games, Curry immediately showed flashes of his offensive ability.
The veteran scored 13 points in only 12 minutes, shooting 4-of-6 from the field and knocking down two three-pointers.
He also recorded three assists and one rebound, providing a scoring spark off the bench as the Warriors attempted to rally late in the game.
Although Utah ultimately held on for the victory, Curry’s return had offered optimism that Golden State had regained another perimeter shooting option for the stretch run.
Long Road Back From Injury
Curry later explained how the injury originally developed.
What started as minor back discomfort gradually worsened into a more serious issue tied to nerve irritation.
“I just had a minor pain in my back,” Curry said after returning to the lineup. “It just kept getting worse and worse and then it hit a tipping point.”
The recovery required months of rehabilitation and conditioning before he was cleared for game action again.
“I’ve been working hard this past however many months to try to get back,” Curry said. “I didn’t know if I would make it back at all.”
A key turning point in the recovery process came during the NBA’s All-Star break, when Curry was able to increase the intensity of his workouts and participate in live basketball activity.
“I think over the All-Star break I made a jump,” he said. “That’s when I knew I’d be able to get back eventually.”
Warriors Continue Managing Injuries
Curry’s latest setback comes during a stretch when the Warriors have been navigating several injury concerns across the roster.
Golden State has had multiple veterans in and out of the lineup while trying to stabilize its rotation heading into the final weeks of the regular season.
Although Curry’s absence is not expected to dramatically alter the rotation, the veteran guard has historically provided valuable shooting and spacing off the bench.
Watching from the sidelines earlier in the season had only strengthened his desire to contribute.
“I feel like I could have helped,” Curry said. “All the injuries and all the stuff going on, I feel like I could have helped throughout the season to put us in a better spot.”
For now, Curry will begin another recovery process, with the Warriors hoping the latest injury proves to be only a short-term setback as the team approaches the closing stretch of the regular season.
