The Golden State Warriors enjoyed one of the best seasons in a couple of years. The Bay were on fire at the beginning of the 2022 NBA season, competing with the Suns for the number one seed. However, a few injuries slowed them down as they dropped to the third seed. Their biggest injury came with Stephen Curry going down towards the end of the season. While his injury was scary, it looks like the Baby Face Assassin is well on his way back.

Curry emerged as an MVP candidate when the Warriors were running hot at the start. The three-point king was putting on dazzling displays every night with his insane shooting. While he did slow down, Curry makes up the heart of the Warriors’ offense. Hence, they have missed him over the stretch of the last few games. But with his rehab going well, Curry has progressed really well in his healing process.

Curry is the leading scorer on the Golden State Warriors putting up almost 26 points per game. The Baby Face Assassin also plays a key part in their playmaking dishing out 6 assists per game. However, while on minute restrictions, Curry won’t be able to be the focal point of the offense. Hence, Jordan Poole and Klay Thompson need to be at their best yet again. Thompson is having the best stretch of his career, scoring 30+ in his last 3 games. On the other hand, Poole has been a consistent provider in the absence of Stephen Curry.
