Just 24 hours ago, the Warriors were all smiles after blowing up the Bucks, and Steve Kerr was boasting of finally being able to count on a full squad. But this Friday morning, it's all grimace soup. Firstly because the team lost at home against the Bulls, but also and above all because Stephen Curry left the field in the 4th quarter after giving himself a nasty sprain to his right ankle on a action in the middle from Alex Caruso and Coby White.
Draymond Green talks MRI
The All-Star point guard had already left the locker room when reporters arrived, and Steve Kerr wasn't very talkative. “I don’t have any information yet. When I saw him, Stephen had his right foot in a bucket of ice. I’m going to need to discuss it with the staff.”
As for his teammates, we are rather pessimistic. “I know he will be missed if he needs to stay away” reacted Klay Thompson. “We have found ourselves in this situation before, and we are going to respond to it collectively. I know he will be ready when he comes back, and whenever that may be. We just hope he recovers quickly. »
For Draymond Green, his teammate “ had morale“. “It sucks…but everyone has to deal with injuries. The goal is to do the best you can to manage them. He will probably have an MRI.” specifies inside Golden State.
The Chris Paul asset
And then, the Warriors have already managed an absence of Stephen Curry at the end of the season. It was 2022, and he had returned for the playoffs as the 6th man. We know the rest… And then, this year, the Warriors have Chris Paul to take over.
“We know he’s more than capable of it! It’s Chris Paul” continues Green. “It’s amazing to have Chris with us, even though there’s only one Stephen Curry in the NBA. But we know that we have a guy capable of making us win, game after game, and that gives us confidence. We know that we are still capable of winning matches. »
