Sunday’s open practice for the Golden State Warriors, meant to be a chill day with fans, might have blown up their whole season before it even started. Franchise legend Steph Curry went down, tweaked his knee, and get this: there was zero contact involved. With the new NBA regular season literally on the horizon this coming week, this isn’t just a bad sign, it could be a total nightmare scenario for Golden State.
The Sudden Stop on the Hardwood
It happened, plain and simple, during what was supposed to be a low-key open practice. Steph Curry just appeared to tweak his knee. No collision, no fall, just… a tweak. That’s the stuff that makes you cringe, right? You try to walk it off, you try to play it cool, but ultimately, Curry had to head back to the locker room for treatment and evaluation. And if the “tenor” of the Warriors staffers, including head coach Steve Kerr, is any indication, this ain’t some minor scare. Their vibe alone tells you this could be serious.
More Knee Woes for the MVP?
Here’s the kicker: this isn’t even a new chapter in Curry’s injury saga. Last season, the guy was absolutely plagued by runner’s knee. That limited availability meant he only made 43 appearances, and for the first time in over half a decade, he didn’t even make an All-NBA team. That’s how much it messed with his game. So, seeing him tweak it *again*, and especially without contact, has to be sending shivers down every Warriors fan’s spine. It’s just a gut punch.
This injury, happening so early, before the first game even tips off, would be understandable levels of frustrating and traumatic for everyone in Golden State. We’re all just holding our breath now, waiting for any real updates.
