The Golden State Warriors got a scare when star Stephen Curry had to leave their NBA preseason game against the Sacramento Kings due to a hand injury. Coach Steve Kerr has since provided a crucial update on Curry’s status.
Stephen Curry had a strong start to the game before his injury, recording 6 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block, and 1 three-pointer in 16 minutes of play. His absence was felt by the team, but the Warriors demonstrated their ability to compete even without their star player.
Curry left the game in the second quarter and did not return, raising concerns among fans. Steve Kerr explained that the decision to pull Curry from the game was purely precautionary, assuring that there was no major cause for concern.
“I was assured at halftime that he was fine,” Kerr told reporters according to clutchpoints. “X-rays were negative. It wasn’t anything too concerning. But yeah, you always get nervous when he gets hurt.”
