It has been about a month since Golden State Warriors star point guard, Stephen Curry got injured. Yet the team has managed to hold its own in his absence. The Warriors have won six out of the 10 games they?ve played since the injury to Curry, including the game against the Dallas Mavericks. Curry has missed about a month of action due to this injury, including the All-Star game. But now, news on his potential return has Warriors fans excited amid additional injury woes for the team.
Even though there has been an update on the potential return date of Stephen Curry, another Warriors star is in line to miss his first game of the season. According to Anthony Slater, Jordan Poole is listed as probable for the game against the Los Angeles Clippers due to a left knee contusion.?
