Curry took a shot to the knee, colliding with McKinley Wright, that left him unable to return to Saturday’s win over the Dallas Mavericks. This happened with 2:01 to go in the third quarter, Curry was playing defense against Wright.
When Curry left the game, he immediately had an x-ray – which showed negative. Per the Warriors, he is scheduled for an MRI next.
While he was limping back to the locker room, Curry did so under his own power. Two team trainers examined him on the bench and went back to the locker room with him.
It should be noted that the left knee he injured against the Mavericks is the same knee that he hurt on Thursday against the Denver Nuggets. Per Golden State’s head coach Steve Kerr, he wasn’t too sure if that collision two nights ago impacted this injury in any way.
“Any time a guy gets an MRI, there’s a concern level,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “We’ll just have to wait and see the results. … This has happened many, many times over the years. So fingers crossed he’s OK.” (ESPN)
The Warriors are 6-5 without Stephen Curry this season, due to a left shoulder subluxation, so if they are without their franchise player then they’ll be prepared to win games without him.
“If he’s out, then we move forward and we do have some games to look at, some game film to look at,” Kerr said. “We’ll be ready, regardless.”
According to multiple reports, spearheaded by ESPN’s Shams Charania, Malik Beasley is no longer under federal investigation for his alleged gambling activities.
Beasley was being investigated for his involvement in prop bets and gambling on NBA games during the 2023-24 season.
With him no longer being under federal investigation, he can now rejoin the free agency pool and teams can now be assured he will be playing this upcoming regular season.
The New York Knicks and Detroit Pistons are two teams who have the most interest, and connections, to the 28-year-old.
According to Jake Fischer, the 23-year-old is currently deciding between two options for the Brooklyn Nets and beyond: sign the qualifying offer this season or sign a two-year deal with Brooklyn.
If Cam Thomas were to sign the qualifying offer, it would guarantee him the reality of being an unrestricted free agent in 2026’s offseason. This is something that has held him down this offseason.
If he were to accept the Nets two-year contract offer, Thomas would only be making $28 million in total and the second year is a team option. The young guard has expressed his desires of earning top-tier money for his statistical production and what he believes he can offer to an organization.
This offseason has shown two things for Thomas: being a restricted free agent has been a nightmare to leave and earn more, and the lack of cap space from interested teams to leave Brooklyn. Thomas has reportedly become intrigued in leaving the Nets to go somewhere else.
Last season, he averaged 24.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game.
According to Jake Fischer, the Golden State Warriors and former Boston Celtics player Al Horford are close on a contract agreement. However, the Jonathan Kuminga situation is stalling those talks as he wants them to resolve that issue first.
Once the Kuminga issue is dealt with, Horford is expected to sign a two-year, over $11 million deal with the Warriors. He would use the full taxpayer midlevel exception for this upcoming season, which would land him $5.685 million for 2025-26.
The second season would be a player option, as the Warriors are hoping this type of contract is to his liking. Golden State highly values his ability to stretch the floor and being able to switch on defense, especially around the center position.
