Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry will not play in the team’s final NBA preseason game. Warriors coach Steve Kerr expressed concern when Curry sustained an injury.
Curry suffered a finger injury during practice and decided not to take any chances in the final warm-up game. Despite the injury, Stephen Curry is expected to be fit for the season opener against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Curry’s injury isn’t a major concern for the Warriors. The team has had a successful preseason, and Curry has proven to be in good shape. The decision to sit out the last preseason match is a precautionary measure to avoid any unnecessary risk.
Steve Kerr stated that the results of Curry’s medical tests were positive. “Always,” Kerr said, via NBC Sports. “Steph is Steph. I was assured at halftime that he was fine. X-rays were negative. It wasn’t anything too concerning,” Kerr added. “But, yeah, you always get nervous when he gets hurt.”
