Stephen Curry just confirmed that he hasn’t been playing with his 100% fitness. Millions across the globe tuned in to catch up on one of the most celebrated rivalries in the NBA world. The Curry-Bron match. The hype was indeed real. However, the game didn’t really live up to its expectations. It was an exciting game to watch, and it didn’t deliver what the fans expected, as both superstars had an underwhelming night. Especially, Steph went completely under the radar in the second half without scoring anything.
And adding fuel to the fire, Anthony Davis led the Lakers to a commanding 118-108 win and registered a 2-0 record against the Dubs this season. Steph, on the other hand, had a quiet game and struggled to shoot the ball with a taped-up thumb. The superstar ended the game with 13 points with 9 assists and walked into the locker room with his head down.
Speaking at the post-game presser, Stephen Curry dropped harsh reality to the Dub Nation regarding his injury situation. This season, the Baby-faced Assassin dealt with multiple injuries ranging from ankle, knee, and thumb. Out of which, the knee injury kept Steph out of action for a total of 5 games, including injury management. However, this wasn’t the nagging injury that troubled the superstar tonight. In fact, speaking of it, he confidently said, “It’s changing in the right direction… For me to play, I checked all boxes… I like where I am at.”
Meanwhile, on the other hand, Curry wasn’t happy with his thumb injury and he said, “It sucks, but it’s not an excuse for anything. Gotta play through it. I went 8-for-8 with it.” Moreover, he added how the injury kept creeping in every time he made progress in recovery. “It’s just something that’s been lingering to the point where it gets hit every once in a while… it’s almost gone and it’s not.”
