Steve Kerr is confident the Warriors can with without Stephen Curry. Not just in the first round of the NBA Playoffs, which Curry is likely to miss, but in any round, against anybody.
Currently Utah sits in the 8th seed of the Royal Rumble that is the bottom half of the Western Conference standings, a seeding that seems to change by the minute. There’s a decent chance this is the team the Warriors will meet in the first round of the playoffs.
Despite the news that he won’t play in the Warriors first round playoff matchup, Curry was in high spirits when he met with media for the first time since the injury.
That’s probably not a headline you wanted to hear on a Sunday afternoon if you’re a Warriors fan, but Steve Kerr was very clear about how he would handle his All-World point guard’s knee injury.
Following an MRI on Saturday, it has been revealed that Stephen Curry sustained a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his left knee during Friday’s game against the Hawks, and will be re-evaluated by the Warriors in three weeks, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
It happened in the third quarter, in the middle of a run in which the Warriors took the lead for the first time since the beginning of the first quarter. JaVale McGee went up for a block, fell and landed on Curry’s left leg.
