The Golden State Warriors star was sidelined for a week after suffering a pelvic contusion in a game against the Toronto Raptors on March 20. Since his return on March 28, the team has found its rhythm again and resumed their winning ways. They extended their winning streak to four games after defeating the Los Angeles Lakers 123-116 on Thursday.
In the win over the Lakers, Stephen Curry scored 37 points and contributed six assists. The Lakers’ LeBron James, meanwhile, had an off night, missing all of his 3-point attempts for the first time in 144 games. The Warriors are now looking to extend their streak to five games when they face the Denver Nuggets next.
However, concerns about the team’s injury situation have emerged as the next game approaches. Curry, who is still dealing with the effects of a bruised tailbone, has been listed as questionable for the Nuggets game. Jimmy Butler, who is dealing with a minor forearm strain, and Gary Payton II, recovering from a thumb injury, are also marked as questionable.
After facing the Nuggets on Friday, the Warriors will have Saturday off before hosting the Houston Rockets on Sunday. With a 45-31 record, the Warriors currently hold the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference, aiming to climb past both the Lakers (46-30) and the Nuggets (47-30).
