Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors could be out longer than it is being reported.
Last night, the Golden State Warriors won just their seventh game since superstar point guardStephen Curry has been sidelined with a knee injury.
Curry, 38, suffered the injury in late January and has been working hard to make enough progress for the Warriors medical staff to clear him to return to action.
Despite Monday’s win in Dallas, the Warriors season took yet another brutal turn last night with adevastating injury to rising star guardMoses Moody, who went down with a gruesome lower body injury.
In the fashion Moody went down, even the most passionate Warriors fans are left contemplating whether returning Curry to the lineup this season is a risk worth taking. However, it now looks like the former NBA MVP remains a little far from returning to the court.
Golden State Warriors Met With Deflating Steph Curry News
With 34 wins on the season, the Warriors are far from a title-caliber team. In fact, had it not been for the few teams beneath them in the standings intentionally losing games, Golden State might’ve been in danger of missing out on even a spot in the play-in. Now that would have been flat-out gut-wrenching.
The Warriors are set to tip off their homestand tomorrow night against the Brooklyn Nets. Initially, there was some hope that Curry would have been back for this game, especially when it was announced the future Hall of Famer was set toengage in contact activity with his team ahead of its matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. However, Curry experienced a slight setback and was unable to give it a go.
With another game approaching, the franchise has learned that Curry’s health remains a major question mark hanging over it.
On Tuesday’s episode of “NBA Today” on ESPN, Warriors insider Anthony Slater dropped an update on Curry.
“[Curry] says he wants to come back, [the Warriors] keep saying he wants to come back, but the reality is he has to get into a scrimmage live action, see how the knee responds to it, because it hasn’t responded that well at times,” Slater said. “And he hasn’t scrimmaged, so he will not play Wednesday, and we don’t know beyond that.”
Steph Curry will remain out tomorrow vs Nets, per source, as he tries to get cleared for a scrimmage setting.

Where Does Golden State Go From Here?
For now, the Warriors are simply left searching for answers.
The confounding dilemma of the season is that Golden State looks and feels lost but still has a unique opportunity to play some basketball games at the end of April. The team’s position in the standings makes it illogical for it to simply punt on the season when it is mathematically far from over.
All the Warriors can do now is control all the controllables. Although they are now severely undermanned, they are still expected to win games like tomorrow night against the Nets. After that, they’ll get to play the lowly Washington Wizards. Both of these games are at home, so there’s that for a plus.
After that, Golden State’s schedule gets brutal. It’ll face a playoff-seeded team four tilts in a row, including a road game in the Mile High City against the Nuggets.
It has become clear the Warriors are in no hurry to get Curry back on the court. Ultimately, there is little reason to. The Dubs are locked into the play-in almost regardless of what scenario plays out to finish the regular season.
At this point, having Curry back healthy for the first play-in game would be a major win in an otherwise forgettable season.
