The Golden State Warriors 2021-22 season started on a high note, only to derail in the second half. Though they have clinched a playoff spot this year, Stephen Curry’s recent injury has dampened their chances. Though reports are in favor of a speedy recovery, Curry might end up missing the remaining regular-season games.
However, the Warriors and Curry haven’t lost hope.
