The Golden State Warriors have been without Stephen Curry for the past two games, and now they’ve shared the latest on his injury status for tonight’s matchup against the Houston Rockets.
Curry suffered an injury during the Oct. 27 game against the Los Angeles Clippers and has been sidelined ever since. However, his absence hasn’t slowed down the Warriors, who managed to secure wins over the New Orleans Pelicans in both games without their star.
According to reports, Curry was initially expected to return tonight, but the Warriors shut down those rumors with an official statement, confirming that Curry will sit out the game against the Rockets.
“Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, who has missed the last two (2) games due to a left peroneal strain, was re-evaluated earlier today. The re-evaluation indicated that Curry is making good progress and, as a result, he has been cleared to return to segments of the team’s practice tonight in Houston. He will not play in tomorrow’s game against the Rockets and will be re-evaluated again on Sunday,” the Warriors wrote.
