?He?ll Bounce Back?: After Stephen Curry?s Absence, Warriors Boss Stays Optimistic Despite Another Major Injury Scare

The Golden State Warriors locked horns with the Philadelphia 76ers last night in the absence of their talisman, Stephen Curry, who would be out for at least two weeks with a shoulder injury. The Dubs lost the game by a margin of 12 points against James Harden and Co. Jordan Poole stepped up to the plate. But his singular efforts were not enough, as Klay Thompson and other members were unable to deliver on the court. However, the Warriors’ head coach Steve Kerr looked optimistic about the future performance of one of the stars on the roster despite his poor showing amidst an ongoing battle with a tender knee.

Last night, the performance of the Warriors showed that they probably missed the presence of Curry on the court as the game ended with a?score of 118-106. Klay Thompson, who needed to be at his best against the Sixers, also looked a bit off. However, after the match, the Warriors head coach looked optimistic about Thompson.

Steve Kerr optimistic about Klay Thompson

Thompson finished the game against the Sixers with 12 points, three rebounds, and zero assists. He shot 4-for-17 from the field and missed eight of his nine shots from inside the arc. The four-time NBA champ was also not effective down the court. However, his surgically repaired knee might have been the prime reason behind this not-so-promising performance.

Regardless of everything, Kerr understood why the Splash brother performed the way he did. The veteran coach admitted that it was a tough night for Klay. Subsequently, he added, ?His effort was there, but the shots weren?t going. He had some good ones. He maybe rushed a couple. But it just wasn?t his night. He?ll bounce back.?

Therefore, Kerr’s statements implied that he was hopeful that the Big Smokey would bounce back as soon as possible and overcome his ongoing battle with his tender knee. Kerr also indicated that he believed Thompson would be able to lead the Warriors in the absence of their leader.

The Warriors’ are currently 11th in the Western Conference with a record of 14-16. If Thompson fails to step up in the absence of Steph Curry, the Warriors could very well see themselves out of playoff contention.
