In a concerning moment for the Golden State Warriors, star guard Stephen Curry exited Thursday night’s game against the Toronto Raptors after sustaining a pelvic contusion. The injury occurred late in the third quarter when Curry collided mid-air with a Raptors defender during a drive to the basket, causing him to land hard on his back and tailbone. ​
Curry remained on the floor for several minutes before being assisted to the locker room by the team’s medical staff. Prior to his exit, he had been performing efficiently, recording 17 points on 6-of-8 shooting, including 2-of-4 from three-point range. ​
The Warriors’ public relations department later confirmed that Curry suffered a pelvic contusion and would not return for the remainder of the game. ​
This incident adds to a series of recent health concerns for Curry. He had previously missed Tuesday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks due to mental and emotional fatigue, as well as a strained lower back. Despite these issues, Curry had been averaging 27.5 points, 5.7 assists, and shooting 38% from three-point range over the past 22 games, leading the Warriors to a 16-6 record during that span. ​
The Warriors have been performing well recently, with notable contributions from other key players. In Curry’s absence during the game against the Bucks, Jimmy Butler led the team to a 104-93 victory, showcasing the team’s depth and resilience. ​
As of now, there is no official update on the severity of Curry’s injury or his expected recovery timeline. Fans and analysts alike will be closely monitoring his condition, given his pivotal role in the Warriors’ lineup.
