Concerns are rising among fans regarding the potential loss of the Golden State Warriors’ star player. Steph Curry exited Friday night’s preseason matchup against the Sacramento Kings after jamming his right index finger, which has left supporters anxious.
After the game, head coach Steve Kerr spoke with 95.7 The Game, explaining that he had intended to keep Curry in the game until the third quarter, but the jammed finger altered those plans. With the season’s start less than two weeks away, many fans are left wondering if Curry’s finger injury is a cause for concern.
Curry departed the court with just four minutes remaining in the first half and headed straight to the Warriors’ locker room, leaving fans uneasy about his condition as he did not return. His absence from the lineup at the start of the second half and the fact that he wasn’t on the bench heightened worries about the severity of his injury.
While a jammed finger typically isn’t a serious issue, Warriors fans are understandably apprehensive about any injury to Curry, regardless of how minor it may seem. Uncertainty looms over what the new season will hold for Golden State, and the team’s performance remains unpredictable.
One thing is clear: the Warriors’ chances for success diminish if Curry is not fully healthy and actively participating. In his limited play during Friday’s game, Curry scored six points, shooting 2-of-7 from the field and 1-of-4 from beyond the arc.
Fans are hopeful for a swift update from the team regarding Curry’s injury status as they prepare for the final week leading up to the season.
