The timing of Curry's injury, which occurred in Wednesday's loss to the Celtics, is concerning for a Golden State team that hasn't enjoyed the luxury of a full, ...
In the meantime, Golden State will have to find a way to replace 25.5 points per game worth of production. “I’ll challenge him to do that for a full game as opposed to just a couple of minutes,” forward Juan Toscano-Anderson said after Wednesday’s game. “I’m always challenging him to be a better player, teammate and bring all the intangibles that don’t show up in the box score or on the stat sheet. And until Curry returns, the Warriors might need him to be. Poole was a starter before being placed into the sixth-man role when Thompson returned in January. After the transition, Poole struggled with inconsistency, only to turn the corner over his past eight games. So that’s definitely a worry, because one of the most important things on offense is continuity and consistency, and we haven’t been able to build that for the most part.” Curry tried to walk off the pain during a timeout, but eventually went to the locker room. Curry didn’t return to the game and underwent an MRI exam that night. I think it’s a low likelihood, but that’s the one thing that may pop up surprisingly.” Curry suffered the injury late in the second quarter when Boston’s Marcus Smart landed on his leg while they were diving for a loose ball. If it’s more severe, then you’re probably looking at six weeks,” said Pandya, who is not directly involved in Curry’s case but watched the game and reviewed various angles of the play. And now with just 12 games left until the postseason begins, establishing the chemistry and rotations necessarily for a deep playoff run will be challenging.
UPDATE: Cruel Steph injury blow flips NBA title race as Warriors coach fumes at 'dangerous' act.
“I didn’t even see him, just dove on the ball and tried to make a play. Durant led the Nets scoring with 23 points, while Goran Dragic added 21. I knew this motherf***er; the only thing he did is run around and stuff like that.’ You know, it’s no fun when the rabbit gots the gun now. “The only thing he does is run around.’ So, obviously, I had one bad game. “well my boy is The Real Magician this year.” But with the last play of the game, Doncic worked the ball to Dinwiddie on the edge of the arc and the shooting guard made no mistake with the three for a 113-111 victory. If one person says one thing, that’s how they take it. “I’m like, ‘What the f***?’ All because of what one person said, and that’s how the media is. “I’ve got a lot of respect for Marcus, he’s a hell of a player, gamer and competitor. We talked after the game, we’re good. I hope Steph’s alright. Patrick Beverley never forgets and he never lets up the opportunity to take a dig at Russell Westbrook — even when on the court.

"Once these heal, if it is not one of the important ligaments... So they are probably trying to figure out if they are certain that he does not need surgery, and it sounds like based on the reports that he probably won't need it. - "Shortest timeframe, if it is a garden variety type of sprain, it can be quick as seven-to-ten days. Is it a ligament, is it tendons or is it just bruising? So that is number one, and we do not really know that. "When the injury first occurred, when an athlete goes down like that, you first want to make sure nothing is broken, which would definitely be a season-ending, Curry is down for the playoffs, three-to-six months.

When asked if Marcus Smart's dive that injured Stephen Curry was a dirty play, Draymond Green acknowledged that it was “maybe unnecessary.
But I thought it was a dangerous play, and I just let him know.” “I thought it was a dangerous play,” Kerr said. If it was a dirty play, I would have went and dove into his head.
Draymond Green expressed concern after the Warriors lost to the Celtics and, worse, Steph Curry left with a foot injury.
“When you play a team that’s that physical and long, the open (looks) that you get sometimes aren’t as comfortable, because you feel their defense,” Kerr said. They did a hell of a job getting into us and when we did have open looks, we didn’t knock them down.” Curry was knocked to the floor when Boston’s Marcus Smart went diving into his legs chasing a loose ball and came up limping. That’s definitely a worry because one of the most important things on offense is continuity and consistency. “They played great defense,” coach Steve Kerr said after the Warriors were held to a season-low 32-point first half. They’re athletic, physical and did a good job.”
