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 ESPN’s Shams Charania, the New York Knicks and Landry Shamet have agreed on a one-year deal. This will see him have another season with New York.
Last season saw the 28-year-old appear in 50 games and average 5.7 points and 1.2 rebounds per game.
New York throughout the offseason has acquired backcourt depth in Shamet, Jordan Clarkson, and Malcolm Brogdon.
According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the New York Knicks and Malcolm Brogdon have agreed to a one-year contract.
This will be his tenth season in the league, as last season saw him playing with the Washington Wizards. Since winning Sixth Man of the Year in 2022-23, Brogdon has only played in 63 games.
Due to his injury history, New York will have the 32-year-old come off the bench in a more limited capacity to try to save his life span throughout the season.
According to multiple reports, the Miami Heat are looking to address their frontcourt depth needs and they have locked eyes on potentially acquiring Precious Achiuwa.
Both sides have mutual interest in one another, as the 25-year-old wrapped up his one-year, $6 million contract with the New York Knicks.
Last season saw a slight dip in statistical productivity from Achiuwa, as he was down in both points and rebounds.
If Miami were to waive Terry Rozier, then they would have enough room to sign a player like Achiuwa. They currently don’t have enough room for even a veteran minimum contract signing.
