Bad news for the Californian franchise, which is fully involved in the fight for the ‘post season’
The important victory of the Golden State Warriors against the Dallas Mavericks (119-113) had a bitter taste due to the left knee injury that will keep his great star Stephen Curry “out for several weeks& rdquor;as reported this Sunday at the last minute by the renowned Shams Charania (The Athletic).
‘Steph’ already missed the final part of the regular season in the 2018-19 season due to a sprained ligament in his left knee, although he returned in time to lead the Warriors to the NBA Finals. There they lost in six games (4-2) against the Raptors in a series that crowned Marc Gasol as NBA champion.
Curry had 21 points with 2/6 on triples, six rebounds and seven assists in the aforementioned duel against Luka Doncic’s Mavs that took place on Saturday (early Sunday morning in Spain) when a violent collision with McKinley Wright IV in the third quarter caused him to twist his left kneethe same one that was damaged four years ago.
The MVP of the last Finals was treated on the bench before going to the locker room.

Pending the fact that with the passing of the days it is determined more accurately how long he will be out, this is bad news for the player and for the Warriors. Personally, Curry will be lost for sure the weekend of the stars which will be held in just two weeks, on Sunday February 19 in Utah.
And at a collective level The loss of his great referent could affect a team that is fighting at least to access the ‘play-in’ and that it seemed to have found the way with four victories in the last six meetings.
The Warriors are now eighth in the Western Conference with 27 wins and 26 losses. Although they are only one win away from the sixth place that the Mavericks occupy and that would give them a direct pass to the playoffs for the title, they only have a cushion victory over the 11th position of the Blazers that would leave them eliminated.
