Well, you know what they say: When it rains, it pours. The Golden State Warriors just canāt catch a break and itās starting to look like they have some kind of curse after completely dominating the NBA for five years.
Theyāve been struggling to find consistency without Klay Thompson in the lineup and now, theyāll be forced to play without their best player and an MVP candidate, as Stephen Curry will be on the sidelines as well.
Curry suffered a scary fall during the Warriorsā clash vs. the Houston Rockets, headed to the locker room and didnāt come back. And unfortunately, it seems like he wonāt come back for quite some time.
Steve Kerr Officially Thought The Injury Wasnāt That Serious
At first, coach Steve Kerr didnāt even rule out the possibility of him suiting up for the Warriorsā next game, adding that he wasnāt even going to take X-Rays and that he could be back rather sooner than later:

āNo idea if heāll play in Memphis. But he seems to feel like heāll be fine in the next week or so. Weāll see. Donāt take that to mean heās out a week. He could be back practicing tomorrow, for all I know,ā Kerr said, according to Anthony Slater.

āKerr said that Curry didnāt get x-rays and doesnāt believe that any other tests are forthcoming. Kerr is optimistic that Curry will be back on the floor soon after the soreness subsides,ā Kerr added, as per Nick Friedell.
Steph Curry Likely To Be Sidelined For 10 Weeks
Now, after further testing, it seems like Stephen Curry could be due for a long spell on the sidelines, as he suffered a tailbone contusion that could take up to 10 weeks to fully heal, according to multiple reports.
With the trade deadline looming around, the Warriors canāt afford to wait for 10 weeks until Curry comes back, as thereās just no chance theyāll be in the playoff picture. That means that their season is likely over and that theyāre now forced to make several moves.
