Even though he only played for thirty minutes, he performed substantially better than others. He made 5 of 10 three-pointers and shot 11 of 19 from the field for a total of 38 points in 30 minutes. He also had seven assists and seven rebounds. By the end of the third quarter, the remainder of the Warriors had scored a total of 42 points.
With Steph Curry likely returning tomorrow, a reminder of his production before the shoulder injury:
• 30-7-7 averages
• 59%-43%-92% shooting splits• 73% at the rim
• 52% in the mid-range— Shane Young (@YoungNBA) January 9, 2023
Steph Curry once more found himself in the pages of history on a night marred by grief and yet another road loss. His 250 career 30-point games are now complete. Curry has played in 26 games this season, and in 16 of those games, he has scored 30 points or more.
For the Warriors, Curry’s absence will be a major setback. In the three games he hasn’t played, the Warriors have outscored them by 55 points. Curry’s absence will also probably result in consistent playing time for backup guard Ty Jerome. Jerome has been a part of Golden State’s rotation on the periphery ever since he signed a two-way deal just before the season began.
Steve Kerr says he’s really proud of the way the Warriors have battled the last few weeks without their leader Steph Curry, and several others who’ve been out due to injuries. Kerr says the team has played hard, and thank goodness reinforcements are coming. #dubnation
