Stephen Curry injury deepens Warriors trouble

It is believed that Curry underwent the second procedure in LA to remove the pins and the brace to begin his rehab.

Stephen Curry's progress is expected to be evaluated again in a few weeks with his return date still projected to be around February 2020. A host of injuries meant the Warriors were forced to play with a much-weakened squad which was relatively thin on the bench. The Warriors lie dead last in the Western Conference with a 6-24 (win-loss) record. Last season's NBA finalists will be facing the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night (Tuesday 9:00 AM IST).
