Warriors point guard Stephen Curry suffered a broken left hand after a hard fall in the second half of a 121-110 home loss against the Suns last Wednesday and he will be out for over three months.
Curry had nine points in the game on just 3 of 11 shooting and 1 of 7 from beyond the arc with four turnovers in 21 minutes before the injury. He was averaging 20.3 points and 6.6 assists while shooting 47.6 percent from the field and 43.5 percent from 3-point range in 28.0 minutes over four games.
The team's first game without Curry took place on Friday and they lost 127-110 at home against the Spurs, so as of this writing the Warriors are just 1-4 this season.
D'Angelo Russell stepped up in the setback, scoring a season-high 30 points and rookie Jordan Poole added 20 points but the Spurs outrebounded the Warriors 52-39 and LaMarcus Aldridge and Patty Mills were unstoppable.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr recently took questions about Curry's injury:
“Obviously it's been a tough start for us on many levels,” Kerr told reporters. “We're just trying to find our footing and obviously this puts us in a tough spot. We'll assess it and go from there.”
