On January 16, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. Earlier today, Warriors reporter Anthony Slater revealed that Curry will miss tomorrow's Warriors away game against the Timberwolves due to a finger injury.
Curry's finger was injured in the second quarter of yesterday's game. At that time, he unfortunately poked his finger, his expression was very painful, and he kept waving his hand to try to get rid of the pain, but he still played the whole field with injuries, and the Warriors' early big lead gave Curry a rest. In yesterday's win over the Bulls, Curry played 28 minutes, 7-of-15, including 4-of-10 from three-point range and 19 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.
Medical expert Pandya tweeted that Curry needs 3-5 days to recover.
After the game, Curry said of his finger injury, saying: "I fell in my right hand during the game, and the injury two years ago caused me to suffer from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). I will be tested further but it has been ruled out to be a serious injury and I feel some pain, but I will be fine. ”
As a result, tomorrow's game will be Curry's fourth game of the season, and in the three games curry has missed before, the Warriors have won 1 and lost 2. But it's clear that Curry's health is undoubtedly at the top of the Warriors compared to the team's rankings. In fact, Curry does need time to rest recently, his recent performance has not been good, he has shot less than 50% in 9 consecutive games, setting a career record.
So far this season, Curry has averaged 34.5 minutes per game, 26.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.4 steals, shooting 42.1 percent from the field. Curry ranks Sixth in the league in points per game, ranking first in the league with a combined 192 three-pointers and 4.9 three-pointers per game. The Warriors are currently in Second Place in the West with 31 wins and 11 losses.
