Stephen Curry shut down for the season as his return to the playoffs are hopeful

What was deemed a dangerous, unnecessary dive by Marcus Smart has since cost Stephen Curry time out on the court. He has been ruled indefinitely due to a sprained left foot.

All of this happened when a loose ball occurred and while Smart was diving for the loose ball, that is when Curry got caught in it and was seen hobbling off in pain afterwards. It was reported that after the game, Steve Kerr and Marcus Smart talked about that moment. Good news is that nothing got heated and they agreed it was a mistake and unintentional to hurt Curry.

Golden State hopes to have Curry back in mid-April when the postseason is; now, the Warriors allow him to rest and hope to finish the season out strong. Trying to hold onto that third seed.

Joel Embiid (Sinus) Upgraded Questionable For Friday

According to the Philadelphia 76ers, Joel Embiid has been upgraded to questionable for Friday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets.

The plan is for the team to reevaluate the 30-year-old hours before their game on Friday; it would be a quick turnaround. However, he is already progressing, so there is a possibility of him playing.

Embiid suffered a right sinus fracture during their game against the Indiana Pacers on December 13th; Philadelphia said they would reevaluate him a week from then.

Overall, Embiid has only played six games this season. This is mainly due to suspension, this current injury, and looming knee issues.

Hawks Want To Trade Clint Capela By Deadline

According to multiple reports headlined by Marc Stein, the Atlanta Hawks want to trade Clint Capela’s expiring contract by this year’s trade deadline.

For those unaware, the 30-year-old is making $22.4 million this season, with him becoming an unrestricted free agent next offseason. Atlanta is reportedly not interested in re-signing him.

Onyeka Okongwu, when Capela is no longer with the franchise, is expected to handle the starting center position. The Hawks believe the young big man can handle those responsibilities.

Capela is averaging 10.0 points and 9.4 rebounds in 27 games this season.
