The Golden State Warriors’ last two losses have been rough. First, they let a 17-point advantage slip against the San Antonio Spurs, and then they blew an 18-point lead against a shorthanded Brooklyn Nets team. During the Nets game, you could see a visibly exhausted Stephen Curry! And now there is some bad news. Monday’s loss was their worst of the season, and it’s tough to excuse. Saturday’s game, though, might have been more forgivable. The Bay Area team, however, were playing their third game in four nights, traveling between three cities. But that doesn’t make the defeat any easier to stomach, does it?

The Warriors have updated Stephen Curry’s injury status, marking him as questionable for Wednesday’s matchup with the OKC Thunder. This change comes after the Bay Area team revealed that Curry is dealing with bilateral patellofemoral pain. Unlike the previous report, which only mentioned his left knee, this update clarifies that both of the Splash Bro’s knees are affected.

This scary shift to a bilateral issue adds a layer of concern for Stephen Curry’s condition. It means both knees are experiencing severe discomfort, which could signal more widespread issues for the aging talisman than previously thought.

Dub Nation is fed up with Steve Kerr’s antics and demands rest for Stephen Curry

Now Steve Kerr is being blamed for not resting the 2x MVP enough!

One user wrote on X, “I blame Kerr for running motion all game and with 4g lineups that gas the vets by the 3rd qtr.” The Warriors’ coach played 4 guards who constantly moved around, looking for any chinks in the defense. This strategy, known to be employed by the Warriors, tires Curry now that he’s 36.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Steve Kerr overworking Curry, or is it just bad luck with his knee issues?

Have an interesting take?

GSW lost two previous games, maybe resting him during one of those games would have affected the eventual outcome. Another user chimed in with, “Should’ve rested him during that pelicans game”. Against the Pelicans, Stephen Curry had the highest minutes of any Warrior at 33! Amidst his ongoing issues with left knee bursitis, resting him would’ve been the best option.

The sentiment of resting him in the previous two games is consistent across Dub Nation. Another netizen wrote, “Should have let Curry rested the last two games”. This fan believes even one game rest wouldn’t have been enough for the 10x All-Star. The 12-man rotation, so highly spoken of by Kerr, should’ve taken care of their key cog’s health and well-being as well. And it’s not like the franchise can’t win without the Splash Bro, we’ve seen them win without Curry this season! (3-0)

Dub Nation is tired of all these antics by Steve Kerr, they want to see a game with everyone at their 100%. One fan wrote something harsh, “Steph tired of kerss bs”. Moses Moody only played for 2 mins, in the 2nd half against the Nets, even when he scored 15 pts in the first half. Why wasn’t he given more time? Tactics. You can’t expect Curry to bail you out every time the second unit blows the lead.

“These last two games have kind of left a sour taste for sure. We’ve given ourselves a little bit of a cushion with a new kind of mindset with who we’re trying to create [offensively] no matter who’s on the floor,” the 3-point leader recently affirmed.

So, let’s hope Stephen Curry finds the deserved rest and returns 100% healthy!
