Warriors’ Preseason Finale Takes a Hit: Curry Sidelined with Finger Injury
The Golden State Warriors are wrapping up their preseason without their star player, Stephen Curry. The guard will miss Friday’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers due to a sprained right index finger, sustained during Thursday’s practice.
A Familiar Foe: Curry’s Finger Injury Flares Up Again
This isn’t the first time Curry has dealt with this issue. He initially injured the finger last Friday during a game against the Sacramento Kings, which led to him sitting out the next match. Although Curry played on Tuesday, admitting to still feeling some discomfort, he was determined to push through.
A Dress Rehearsal No More
Warriors coach Steve Kerr had originally envisioned Friday’s game as a dress rehearsal for the season opener against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. However, with Curry sidelined, Kerr is now using this opportunity to experiment with different lineups and rotations in search of the perfect starting five.
No Cause for Alarm
Kerr downplayed the severity of Curry’s injury, expressing confidence that he’ll be ready to go on opening night. This comes as a relief to Warriors fans, who are eager to see their team back in action. Despite this setback, the team remains focused on fine-tuning their strategy and gearing up for a successful season.
