Golden State Warriors' star player Stephen Curry has been sidelined from many games this season due to a broken hand. Curry broke his left hand four games into the NBA 2019-20 season while playing against the Phoenix Suns. He has been out of action ever since and will take a few more months before returning. In a recent interview with a sports website, Curry revealed that sitting out of games due to his injury is the hardest thing he has had to do.

NBA 2019-20: Stephen Curry comments on being sidelined

Curry, who will be out until February at the most, admitted that not being able to help his beleaguered team has been difficult. The 2-time NBA MVP added that he has mostly been injured during the off-season. However, that year was the lockout year, therefore there was less time on the shelf. This year, Curry thinks that he is going to lose his mind.

Owing to off-season roster changes and major players being injured, the Warriors have fallen to the worst record in NBA 2019-20. Kevin Durant departed to the Brooklyn Nets via free agency, while Klay Thompson was injured during the sixth game of the NBA 2018-19 finals. Stephen Curry's injury further worsened the Warriors' game. New player D'Angelo Russell and Draymond Green have also been out of a few games due to injury. Despite rookie Eric Paschall performing well, the Warriors have not been able to bag 5 wins this season. The Warriors last lost to the New York Knicks in a 124-122 overtime encounter and will play the Utah Jazz next on Friday, December 13 EST (Saturday, December 14 IST).
