On March 18, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued to unfold, and the Warriors have recently been in trouble, and they could have made a full impact after Green's return. But in the last game against the Celtics, Curry was injured and withdrew from the game, and after an examination of the injury came out. In addition to Curry, the Warriors' 19-year-old Moody was also injured, but the defensive sticker Payton Jr. entered the countdown to return.
During a game against the Celtics, Curry was knocked down by Smart behind him during a steal of the ball, and then Smart's body pressed against Curry's ankle, which also caused him to be injured (the action itself is not dirty). Curry then returned to the locker room, and then the Warriors officially announced that they had withdrawn from the game, and the team also lost the game. After examination, Curry was diagnosed with a sprained ligament in his left foot with an undecided return date. According to a follow-up report by Woj, Curry's initial assessment of a ligament sprain in his left foot raises optimism that he could recover early in the playoffs in mid-April.
Without Curry, that would also be a blow to the Warriors, who have averaged 25.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game this season, which requires other players to step up and fill the gap he has left.
Another concern is that the team's 19-year-old Moody also has a condition, suffering from a right shoulder sublocation injury. He was also injured in yesterday's game against the Celtics, and his right shoulder was suddenly dislocated during the game, and the return date is also undecided, but it is expected to return this season. As a rookie, Moody's also got some chances, playing in 45 games, averaging 11.8 minutes per game, 4.4 points and 1.7 rebounds.
Fortunately, the Warriors also have good news, that is, defensive toughman Payton Jr. is finally returning. After two weeks out of his left knee, he is also in the countdown to his comeback and will return next week against the Spurs. Payton Jr. has been a bonus for the Warriors this season, and between Bradley and him, the Warriors chose him, and his performance was quickly recognized by the team as one of the main rotation players. He has played 60 times this season and averaged 7.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game.
Another injured man, Wiseman, is still training in the development league, and he was recalled in the last game and also appeared on the sidelines, but today he was sent down again and continues to find his form. So far this season, Wiseman has not played for the team and has been recuperating from injuries before. As things stand, it's a bit difficult to get into the rotation after his return.
