In a much-anticipated comeback, Steph Curry returned to the court for the Golden State Warriors after missing the last two games due to a sore left knee. The 35-year-old point guard provided a much-needed spark for a struggling Warriors team that had been on a five-game losing streak.
Curry’s impact was immediately felt as he scored 12 points in the first half, shooting an impressive 4-for-8 from the field, including two crucial 3-pointers. His scoring outburst helped the Warriors secure a 10-point lead at halftime. Klay Thompson also benefitted from Curry’s presence, contributing 12 points of his own, including two well-timed three-point shots to close the first half.
The injury that sidelined Curry occurred during the Warriors’ previous game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, when he took a hard fall. Fortunately, an MRI revealed no structural damage to his knee, leading to his quick return to the court.
With Draymond Green serving a five-game suspension, Curry’s return is a much-needed boost for the team. The two-time MVP has been the Warriors’ leading scorer and offensive force, averaging an impressive 30.7 points per game while shooting 44.6% from beyond the arc.
However, the Warriors were still missing some key players during their recent matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Trayce Jackson-Davis and Gary Payton II were both sidelined due to injuries. Payton strained his left foot during a recent play, though an MRI showed no significant damage. Jackson-Davis, who had been recalled from the Santa Cruz Warriors, is listed as out with a lower leg injury.
Despite the absences, Curry’s return provided a much-needed boost to the team’s morale, and the Warriors managed to secure a victory against the Thunder. As Green and the injured players recover, the Warriors can look forward to a brighter future with Curry leading the charge.
