Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors has been ruled out for the upcoming game against the New Orleans Pelicans due to a left ankle injury sustained during a loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Curry rolled his ankle twice in that game and required assistance to leave the court. The injury raises concerns over his availability for future games, with reports suggesting he may miss several. Curry is scheduled to be re-evaluated on November 1, indicating a prolonged absence. His teammate Draymond Green is adapting his game to fill the void left by Curry's absence.

By the Numbers
  • Curry averaged 18.3 points per game prior to his injury.
  • He recorded 18 points, 4 rebounds, and 6 assists in 27 minutes during his last game.
Yes, But

While Curry’s injury is significant, the Warriors are adapting. Draymond Green’s potential adjustment to a more aggressive playing style could mitigate some impacts, but the team is losing a critical offensive player.

State of Play
  • The Warriors face the Pelicans twice in the coming days without Curry.
  • Head coach Steve Kerr expressed concern over Curry’s recurring ankle issues.
What's Next

Following the re-evaluation on November 1, further updates on Curry's condition will clarify how many games he may miss and the Warriors' strategy moving forward in his absence.

Bottom Line

Without Curry, the Warriors will need to recalibrate their offensive strategy, requiring significant contributions from teammates like Green as they navigate a crucial stretch of games.
