In a radio appearance on 95.7 FM’s Willard and Dibs show on Wednesday, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr provided an injury update on Stephen Currywho will miss at least five more games due to his ongoing right knee issue.
Kerr said Curry is “frustrated” and “dying to be out there,” but has not yet practiced, as Nick Avila of NBC Sports Bay Area relays.
“He’s getting shots up, but he’s not in a place yet where we’re saying he’s going to be practicing anytime in the next few days,” Kerr said. “It’s pretty methodical. As you guys know, Rick (Celebrini) is as good as they come and he’s going to be very cautious and make sure Steph gets the right build up and we go from there.”
Here’s more on the Warriors:
Kerr is optimistic Moses Moody will return from his right wrist sprain at some point during Golden State’s upcoming road trip, tweets Nick Friedell of The Athletic. The Warriors play six road games from March 15-23, including a couple of back-to-backs. Moody, a fifth-year wing who is averaging a career-high 11.9 points while shooting a career-best 40.2% from long distance, will miss his fifth straight game Friday due to the injury.
Although the Warriors have been in a rut of late without Curry and Jimmy Butlerdropping three straight games, two-way player LJ Cryer has been a bright spot over the past four contests, averaging 11.8 points while shooting 48.0% from three-point range in 18.8 minutes per game. Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area profiles the former Baylor and Houston guard, whose family is full of athletes. “Went from being one of the last guys on the bench coming into college to being the star,” Cryer said. “Sometimes you just got to wait your time and put in work behind the scenes. It’s kind of what’s happening now.”
On his podcast, Draymond Green expressed regret for his actions in Tuesday’s loss to Chicago, per Florito Maniego of NBC Sports Bay Area. The veteran forward/center fouled Jalen Smith with one second left in regulation and the Warriors up two points. Smith converted both free throws to send the game to overtime. “Unfortunately, I feel like against the Bulls, I let my team down,” Green said. “Something that was completely in my control or our control, but s–t happens, and we got to move on. And we got the Timberwolves coming in (Friday), and you just got to figure it out.”
