Stephen Curry Questionable for Warriors’ Game Against 76ers on January 2nd with Thumb Injury
Stephen Curry is dealing with a thumb injury and his status is questionable for the Golden State Warriors. The team is set to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on January 2nd. This injury news comes after Curry has been managing knee issues in recent weeks.
What It Means
Curry’s absence could impact the Warriors significantly. He averages 22.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 6.4 assists per game this season. His shooting percentages are also strong, with a field goal percentage of 43.7% and a three-point percentage of 40.1%. If he misses the game, it would be a challenge for the team to fill his role.
Gary Payton II might see increased playing time if Curry cannot play. Payton averages just over 13 minutes per game and scores about 4.6 points per game. While not as impactful as Curry, he would need to step up in his absence.
