On February 7, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued. According to Shams, Warriors star Curry will be out for at least a month (4 weeks) due to injury. In the previous Warriors game against the Lone Ranger, Curry was injured and left early, and then the Warriors announced that Curry suffered a partial tear in the left suprafibular ligament and interosseous membrane (which holds the fibula and tibia together), and also contusion in his left calf.
Without a doubt, this is a huge blow for the Warriors. Warriors coach Kerr said of the news of Curry's injury: "I think it's important for us to work over the next few days, we're going to really test those roster combinations, and we're going to get a full analysis of which combinations work best. Don't forget that Wiggins didn't play before, and he didn't fit the team perfectly. ”
Kerr continued: "I have to make sure to put the players in the best position and give them a roadmap on how we need them to play and what we need them to do to win games in Curry's absence. ”
Kerr also said that Curry was afraid to go for a MIR (nuclear magnetic resonance) test at one point. Because he was worried that he would suffer season reimbursement. But after the results came in, Curry's mental state was much better, and his first words to Kerr were: "The good news is that I will be back." ”
So far this season, Curry has played in 38 games, averaging 29.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1 steal while shooting 49.5 percent from the field and 42.7 percent from three-point range. In his absence, the Warriors were 7-8. The current Warriors record of just 27-26, 8th in the West, and only 0.5 wins ahead of the 10th-place Jazz in the West, can fall out of the playoffs if they are not careful, making it very difficult for the Warriors to make the playoffs.
Meanwhile, the Warriors suffered another blow. Team defender Ryan Rawlings will undergo surgery for a fractured right foot and will miss the rest of the season. So far this season, Rawlings has played a total of 12 games, averaging 5.2 minutes per game and 1.9 points and 1 rebound.
