News on January 16 has confirmed that Golden State Warriors star Steven Curry will miss the next game against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to right hand discomfort.
Yesterday, in the Warriors' big win over the Chicago Bulls, Curry fell down during a breakthrough and subconsciously supported the ground with his right hand when he landed. It is estimated that there is a problem with the angle of the ground and the force of the instantaneous fall to the ground is too large, and after Curry got up from the floor, he has been holding his right hand with his left hand, and his face is ugly.
In a post-match press conference, Curry said his right hand would be subject to further examination, but believed the problem should not be too big.
"Anything that involves the hand, especially if it's the right hand this time, will inevitably make you nervous." Curry said, "But soon the feeling is restored, the feeling can be used again, it should be a little injured, but it will be fine." ”
However, Curry also mentioned that the moment of the right hand injury reminded him of the injury that fractured his left hand in the 2019-20 season, and he was worried that such a situation would happen. Although two seasons have passed, it is clear that he still has lingering feelings when he mentions this matter.
Indeed, as a basketball player, almost all technical movements are done by hand, especially a shooter like Curry, whose right hand is his shooter, really can't stand a little accident!
In addition to Curry, the warriors who miss the Timberwolves next are Drummond Green, who is expected to return next Wednesday. In addition, Payton Jr.'s waist injury seems to be more serious, and he is unlikely to play against the Timberwolves. Klay Thompson, who was sidelined during a game against the Bulls, will return.
