Curry Out 5 More Games, Warriors Face Tough Stretch

0:00It's March 2nd. Here's your Golden State Warriors news in two minutes. Subscribe to Stay Locked in All Season. The Golden State Warriors announced that Steven Curry will miss at least five more games due to his runner's knee injury. The superstar guard first hurt his knee hobbling off during a loss to the Detroit Pistons on January 30th and has already sat out ten games. Curry gave a downbeat update himself after Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers, telling reporters he's out a bit longer and hasn't started. On court work yet, this means he'll skip at least eleven games after the all-star break and fifteen overall. Warriors fans hope for a quick return to push into the top six seas in the Western Conference, but now the team sits eighth and even shorter-handed. Without fellow star Jimmy Butler for the season, their recent form shows it going four wins and six losses over the last ten games while ranking low on offense. Golden State faces a tough stretch ahead, hosting the Clippers on Monday night, then a road trip through Houston, Oklahoma City and Utah before a back-to-back home game against the
