In consecutive posts on X, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported, "(1) ESPN Sources: Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry’s MRI on his right ankle returned clean on Friday and a clearer timeline on his return will come with how ankle responds over next several days. (2) The expectation is that Curry won’t miss much time for the Warriors, sources said. Golden State is ninth in the Western Conference playoff race."
While the Warriors have yet to announce an official injury update on Curry, all signs point to a relatively quick return. In a report from Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area, it was revealed that Curry's timeline is expected to be similar to the 7 to 10 day range that Devin Booker is currently facing with his ankle injury.
He will be back soon and the Warriors will start winning again. With Curry back, we are seeing a healthy Warriors in the play-in or playoffs since CP3 was already playing and Wiggins as well. All signs are good for the Warriors, everyone were playing on the same page so pretty much they are ready on every big games.
For the whole regular season, they're relying too much on Curry's offense. I don't see anything wrong with that, but if Curry isn't playing, no one can step up on offense to lead the team. I mean how can they lose to an average team in Spurs that has no Wembanyama. I thought that their current roster would be better than last season because they solved their problem last season which is a big man that can help Looney defend the paint, but it seems like they're much worse than that. I don't know the reason, and I don't want to blame any of them, but if they are underperforming this year, I will not be surprised if the Warriors management will break the big 3 of Steph, Klay, and Dray just to get another all-star player that will help the team win the title.
As for Wiggins, he's underperforming for the majority of the season. Yes, there are times that he's scoring 20 points, but he wasn't the Wiggins that we saw when they won the title back in 2022. They need that old Wiggins if they want to win the title. Sadly, we might not see it anymore. I guess I'll just hope that the Warriors will at least stay on the play-in spot.
That is always the case for the Warriors, Curry is their main scorer and he needs to stay consistent everygame so they can win. I think with Thompson's being inconsistent too it makes them more dangerous because they are spreading the points. The loss to the Spurs is really bad but that was without Curry and I think they have a problem figuring out how to do the right play without him, or the Spurs just have a very good game, that's normal.
However, in the next game and Curry still not available and the Warriors still lose in the same manner, then I can say that there's really a problem with this team as they will be in the similar situation with the Sixers that struggles a lot without their best player. Wiggins could be a problem but him underperforming is making his teammates gets better because somebody needs to step up on that matter. I'm not sure how the Warriors will end up this season, but once they are in the playoffs, they'll be activated to the same Warriors who have won multiple championships.
