Kerr forming a cross with her fingertips The article that stated Steph is fine despite suffering a leg injury first aired on NBC Sports Bayarea.
The Warriors are unable to make any headway in turning their season around because they continually run into roadblocks whenever they attempt to do so.
The injury to Steph Curry’s lower left leg, which he suffered during the Warriors’ 119-113 victory against the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night at Chase Center, is the most recent roadblock on their path.
Curry sustained the injury while playing defense at the end of the third quarter, and he limped into the locker room to get X-rays, but the results of those were negative.
The last stage is an MRI, which will most likely take place on Sunday and will almost certainly have a significant effect on the remainder of the 2022-2023 season for the Warriors.
After the game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr informed reporters that he had not spoken to Stephen Curry or Warriors trainer Rick Celebrini about Curry’s injury. However, there is a level of anxiety whenever imaging is necessary for an injury.
When asked about the outcome, Kerr told the press, “We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.”
The injury to Curry’s foot has forced him to miss the last two games. During the game against the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night, he went down awkwardly while attempting a 3-point shot, which resulted in a contusion to his left leg.
On Saturday, he was listed as questionable to participate in the game against the Mavericks, but he was finally given the all-clear to compete.
Curry had the most points in the game (21) and was shooting 7 of 11 from the field when he departed the game. He did not appear to be affected by the contusion.
When you consider how aggressively Curry competes and how much running he does throughout games, it’s not surprising to see him hobble and get bruised up during the course of the game. The majority of the time, he is able to continue playing in the game after getting up and walking it off, just like he did Thursday night.
Curry, however, was unable to keep going after two nights had passed.
Kerr added, “This has occurred many, many times over the years, so fingers crossed that he’s well.” “This has happened many, many times over the years.“
The Warriors held a 20-point advantage when Curry was taken out of the game after a timeout was called. Nevertheless, Dallas outscored Golden State by a score of 35-21 in the game’s last minute and a half.
Whether or not Curry participated, it was another instance of the Warriors not having a strong finish to a game. However, Draymond Green was not willing to pin the loss of the game on Curry’s injury for whatever reason.
Green told reporters after the game, "It was so sudden, I didn't even notice he left the bench. So I just think it was so abrupt, I don't think it really impacted the emotion." Green was referring to the fact that the player had left the bench unexpectedly. "I believe that when you acquire a lead, you let your guard down because you think you have the upper hand. The situation is rather interesting with this team."Curry has played in the NBA for the past 14 years, and during that time he has had a number of injuries. However, experienced big man JaMychal Green is experiencing for the first time what it is like to witness the reigning Most Valuable Player of the NBA Finals get banged up.
Green’s immediate response to the news of Curry’s injury, which he shared after the game with Kerith Burke of NBC Sports Bay Area on “Warriors Live,” was probably the same as how Warriors supporters felt about the situation.

Green shared with Burke his sentiments, saying, “My heart sank.” “Because he is such an integral part of the squad, we cannot afford for him to get an injury as we move into the second half (of the season). However, he stated that he is in good shape.”
The Warriors improve to 27-26 on the season as a result of the win, which also moves them up to the seventh spot in the Western Conference. However, if they are unable to count on Curry for a long length of time, the task of climbing the standings would be even more difficult.

The bright spot for Golden State is that despite missing 11 games earlier in the season due to Curry’s left shoulder subluxation, they still managed to go 6-5 in those contests.
Even if staying at or around.500 with Curry isn’t ideal if they want to avoid playing in the play-in round, it’s better than the alternative, which may destroy their hopes of making the playoffs.
For the time being, as Kerr mentioned, everyone in the organization is keeping their fingers crossed as they wait for the findings of the MRI.
