NBA superstar Stephen Curry has been out of the team with an injury since Feb. 4. The Golden State Warriors fans understandably miss the sharp shooter’s presence on the roster. During his absence, the Dubs have won three games and lost four. Despite the injury, during their latest game against the Houston Rockets, Curry was on the bench.

Curry was seen constantly giving out instructions and supporting his teammates throughout the game. However, his outfit for the game might have given away his rare illness.

The rare condition of Stephen Curry

Stephen Curry is arguably the best shooter the league has ever seen. The four-time NBA champion’s ability to consistently and effortlessly make shots from beyond the arc took the league by storm a decade ago. The guard required some time to adjust to the demands of the league with his injury issues early on. But there was no stopping him once he found his footing and won the NBA MVP award for two straight years. However, his time at the top was not without challenges.

In his prime, during the 2018-19 season, Curry was diagnosed with a rare illness called Keratoconus, which is an eye condition that causes blurred vision. For any athlete, their eyesight is very important. It is arguably more so for a player like Curry. This issue with his vision hampered his shooting and caused a slump at one point in time. He then had to wear contacts to mitigate the situation. During the game against the Houston Rockets, the nine-time NBA All-Star was seen wearing glasses, which could be because of his eye condition.

However, it could very well be just an accessory for his outfit and the fans will be hoping it was. The two-time scoring champion has already missed out on 22 games this season so far due to his injury.

Curry and the Warriors’ struggle for consistency

The Golden State Warriors started the season very poorly. Their away form is still one of the worst in the league. However, the reigning champions showed flashes of brilliance here and there. But they are still struggling for consistency. To make matters worse, their injury issues did not help their cause to achieve consistency and string some wins together.
