NBA insider makes major Warriors announcement about Stephen Curry’s injury status

The Golden State Warriors have struggled in their past two games without their superstar, Stephen Curry, who sustained a pelvic contusion during the team’s win over the Toronto Raptors. Without Curry, the Warriors fell to the Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat. However, an NBA insider has suggested that Curry may be back in action for the team’s upcoming game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Curry played just 25 minutes against the Raptors, tallying 17 points, two rebounds, and one assist before exiting after a hard collision with Jonathan Mogbo. The awkward fall sent Curry directly to the locker room.

Days later, the Warriors reported that Curry’s MRI revealed no structural damage, confirming he had suffered only a pelvic contusion. This news provided relief for head coach Steve Kerr and Warriors fans. Recently, NBA insider Anthony Slater shared an encouraging update about Curry’s potential return.

“Steph Curry went through a six-minute team scrimmage today in New Orleans. He is about to do an individual workout. Warriors will list him as questionable tomorrow at Pelicans, but Steve Kerr said he remains optimistic Curry will return,” Slater posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Warriors’ offense struggles without Curry

While the Warriors have a respectable 7-4 record in games without Curry this season, his absence significantly impacts the team’s offensive efficiency. With Curry on the court, the Warriors have an offensive rating of 117.3, ranking sixth in the league. Without him, their offensive rating plummets to 105.2, the lowest in the NBA, according to ClutchPoints.
