Curry’s Hard Fall Stuns Chase Center Crowd
Draymond Green was seated on the bench Thursday inside Chase Center when Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry collided with Jonathan Mogbo while driving toward the basket. As Curry crashed tailbone-first onto the hardwood, the impact was so loud that Green heard it over the roaring sellout crowd. Later, Draymond Green reacts to the incident and shares his concerns.
Curry remained on the floor for a moment before rising slowly. With 3:24 left in the third quarter, he limped toward the tunnel alongside vice president of player health and performance Rick Celebrini. The Warriors later announced that Curry suffered a pelvic contusion.
Warriors Hold Off Raptors Without Curry
While Curry underwent an MRI, head coach Steve Kerr addressed the media, revealing that the star guard considered returning. However, the team opted for caution. “We just decided not to risk anything, and so hopefully it’s not bad,” Kerr said. Draymond Green reacts to the cautious approach.
Despite Curry’s absence, the Warriors (41-29) found a way to secure victory. Jimmy Butler led the charge, finishing with a triple-double: 16 points, 11 rebounds, 12 assists, two steals, and two blocks. His clutch block in the final minute helped Golden State close out the Toronto Raptors.
Green stepped up with a team-high 21 points, while Quinten Post drained six three-pointers for 18 points. Jonathan Kuminga added 16, and Brandin Podziemski contributed 15. Before exiting, Curry had 17 points on efficient 6-of-8 shooting against a relentless defense. Draymond Green reacts positively to his teammates stepping up without Curry.
Warriors Extend Lead in Western Conference Standings
Golden State, now 16-2 with Butler in the lineup, wrapped up its seven-game homestand with six wins. The victory widened its lead for sixth place in the Western Conference, now 1.5 games ahead of the Los Angeles Clippers. Draymond Green reacts to the team’s fantastic performance.
The Warriors embark on a grueling 14-day, six-game road trip starting Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks. With Curry’s status uncertain, Green and Butler must continue leading the charge.
