Stephen Curry injury

Stephen Curry is currently undergoing rehabilitation from a broken hand suffered in their game against Phoenix Suns. The two-time NBA MVP drove to his left defended by Kelly Oubre Jr. and with Aron Baynes standing solidly in the paint. He leapt with the ball then came down headfirst landing clumsily on his hands to brace himself from the court.

The Golden State Warriors have struggled in Stephen Curry’s absence and are at the bottom of the Western Conference table with an abysmal 9-32 record.
