For Golden State, Curry’s health isn’t just important, it’s essential.
He has redefined basketball with his unprecedented shooting ability, cementing his legacy with four championships, two MVP awards, a pair of scoring titles and 10 All-Star selections.
In the Warriors’ current setup, Curry’s role is more crucial than ever.
He’s the bridge between two generations, leading a roster that combines veterans like Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins with emerging young talent.
His presence on the court orchestrates the offensive rhythm and creates opportunities for his teammates.
An extended absence could seriously hamper Golden State’s postseason hopes.
Until his return, the Warriors will lean heavily on Gary Payton II, Moses Moody, Brandin Podziemski and offseason addition Buddy Hield to maintain their competitive edge.
