[Injury] Steph Curry hits a 3-pointer and tries to play through an injury before heading to the locker room (with replays). The Warriors and ESPN broadcast try to speculate what caused the injury
Flying to Texas tomorrow to go watch the warriors for my first nba game 🙃
going to a b2b game is always kinda risky esp with how old curry is but this is just unfortunate
It ain’t a back to back they play Friday
ohh mb
not a b2b next game is friday
Yaxel is must watch for dubs fans, sucks if Steph is out but Yax vs Wemby will be fun
Dude no one is paying Curry prices to see Yaxel.
How will that be fun? Yax will have 12 points and spurs win by 20 if no Steph
I think this is actually pretty likely. We’re getting dog walked no matter what and yax has never played anyone near Wemby. He may be better in future showings but for a first game, he’s getting blocked A LOT
We’ll circle back to this.
Yeah, not sure how ppl disagree. Without curry, the spurs will force yax to shoot. He gonna get 30 on wemby being the main scorer? Doubtful
This just bummed me out dawg
dang sorry to hear that. i was in cali last fall for the first time in my life and i went for my first warriors game, and ofc steph was out with an illness. jimmy and friends were still fun to see and i had a fun time. at least you’ll get to watch yaxel and podz do their thing. draymond highkey plays great D on wemby, so it might be a more fun game than ppl expect. but i know the feeling, tough timing.
Blame Ime and his team of shitheads
Time to get real excited about Yaxel Lendeborg.
Sell the ticket if you’re a steph fan > warriors fam
Don’t ever go to back to backs. Even if healthy stars rest for one of them.
They play Friday not tomorrow
Steph an Luka/AR going out with injuries
Today’s cursed
Oh fml what happened to AR and Luka?
both seem to be ankle injuries, AR’s looks worse than Luka’s but we’ll see what the updates are.
austin landed wrong on his heel going for a fastbreak dunk and luka rolled his ankle after kuz fouled him on a 3
neither injury looked too terrible but i expect austin to miss more time than luka
Wonder how much all of these injuries impact the MVP rankings. Guess if Wemby remains healthy it’s his due to disqualifications.
luka probably wont even miss a game let alone enough to miss the 65 game rule
at most he sits the phoenix game
Can’t ask his wife how she feels about it
they didn’t show it here but there was a spot where it looked like someone was wrenching his arm back and steph looker perturbed and in pain after.
I think it was Sengun.
F Sengun. He’s a dirty player. Also curry old
It’s always Sengoon
Shane Goon
Shame goon
Reggie?
Check 8:41 left in the 1st quarter. Confirmed it was Sengun.
Senguini probably thought “We do this all the time to him cuz how else we got a shot at winning?”
The fact that players feel so comfortable to do shit like this to Curry off ball just goes to show the NBA REALLY needs to call these off ball fouls consistently.
You mean Big Lordosis?
based on where hes grabbing it looks more like an oblique injury than a back one
these fckn bozos cant win it themselves
Steph initiates contact and hooks.
Alpi lifts his arm to try and get free, steph keeps his arm pointing down so alpi cant get free.
Alpi then spins around to free his trapped arm
The whole time steph is pushing down with his arm to keep sengun from getting out
Look at the still shot of the link….
The guy has a grill /s
Rockets injure Steph every season. Their game plan is always to foul and hack at him so much that the refs won’t call everything. It’s dirty AF
The ghost of pat Beverly remains
The sweat of Motiejūnas remains
ironically pat bev was never dirty against steph. probably bc they’re good friends
Yeah it was really cool to see Pat Bev say it sucks to see Steph hurt during the 19-20 season and he ran down all the camps they went to when they were younger and how they were roomies for those camps.
Lmao found patbev’s account
Nah I heard they were really good friends and also that Steph wanted to give Patbev $10,000, just for being a cool guy
Bullshit
If you’ve had Dillon Brooks on your team any time in the past 3 or 4 years you’re bound to be a dirty team
And if your coach was fired from his last job for sleeping with employees…
Dirty rockets
sounds like something on urban dictionary i don’t want to know about
I mean on this play specifically what did they do that was dirty? Smith went straight up to contest him and Curry just collided awkwardly
nothing really but the rockets were hacking tf out of steph like 2 minutes into the game which is probably udokas gameplan and that prob had something to do with it
When you’re as great as Steph is, all you can do is play physical in the hopes of slowing him down. Throws off their game so they struggle to find a rhythm. I understand as a Warriors fan it’s frustrating but I don’t believe that it’s dirty.
Jordan rules from the bad boy Pistons era was dirty. But that was also the same mindset just more extreme.
Udoka needs to be in jail for all the violence he inspires.
Warriors fan calling this out is rich when Draymond is on your team and does this to everyone he guards.
draymond is literally a help defender he isnt even near the perimeter
Looked like lateral movement to me
He got the ball.
Not a particular play, but it’s the hacking and fouling constantly that don’t get called. Thompson moved right into him first play and nothing
Nothing here really but Steph got floored twice before this already and then Sengun was kind of wrenching his arm around on a screen.
Steph was moving screen and intertwined his arm purposely with Sengun, then further stuck out his ass to block with a moving screen. In an earlier play Steph ran straight into a rockets player and went to the floor.
oh no the terrifying ass of stephen curry how will the uncoordinated giraffe sleep at night
Looks like Steph was the one intertwining his arm, not the other way around
It wasn’t a dirty play but it was absolutely a foul that wasn’t called. The defender clearly left his feet and bodied Curry as he blocked the shot. Should have been a blocking foul on the help defender. My bigger problem is the constant clutching, grabbing, bumping that Curry deals with constantly, the Rockets being a primary team that does this. Hardly ever gets called. I find it hilarious that so many people online say how “soft” the league is now, how hand checks aren’t allowed, etc…its such a lazy take. Yes, the rules were technically tweaked a bit, but the actual play on the court is just as physical in many ways. Off the ball defense being a primary example. The league is softer in other ways, flagrant fouls are called on plays that used to be regular fouls… But the normal flow of play is just as physical as ever. And teams do get away with a lot of holds and bumps on Curry that should probably be called more frequently.
there was a video a play before where sengun grabbed and pulled on curry’s shoulder and curry immediately grabbed his abdominal.
Curry initiated that by grabbing Sengun, offensive foul
Segun caused the injury afterwards on a separate play. Though your fuck head players probably contributed on this play as well.
Maybe Go look at the play that actually caused it.

Sengun Arm bar body twisting submission move. Perfectly legal
Good video, thanks for sharing it. Heads up that the link also shared your full name, gotta disable that in youtube settings or delete everything after the ? in the copied link url, they switched it on by default
When did they injure him on this play
Found the Rockets sympathizer
Ok
That’s isn’t the play he got hurt on. He got hurt when he tried to slip past Sengun and Sengun hooked Curry’s arm and then violently ripped it upwards instead of doing the natural thing to untangle himself so he could continue to guard his assignment.
You got it backwards. Watch the video again.
I’ve watched it 20 times. Steph’s arm is out as he’s passing him (yes he should’ve kept it tucked) and Sengun stops him by hooking it. If you are Sengun, you would never try to free yourself from that position by yanking upwards, you would pull your arm back towards your body, because obviously if someone’s arm is on top of yours, you can’t free it by pulling up. If someone grabs your wrist and is applying downward force you are taught to rotate and yank downwards to free yourself.
Yep
It’s because they have never been good enough to beat him at basketball. It’s their only hope.
Trash perpetual loser franchise that I’ve loved the Warriors dominating for a decade. Fuck them and their garbage city
And now thet have Marcus “dive at Currys knees” Smart.
Revenge for the playoffs maybe?
They did this in the playoffs
NBA at some point will suffer because of this ignorance, there will be no more stars to play because the NBA allowed this kind of play and extreme tempo, leading to so much injuries.
They already are. League office has clearly told the refs to protect Steph a bit more as they are losing big dollars and viewership when he misses a lot of time.
Unfortunately their degenerate coach doesn’t care. Given the owner is also of the same ilk it doesn’t surprise me Ime found another job so easily after his scandals in Boston.
Rockets are always so aggressive and dirty against the warriors.
I get that the dubs are the reason why they couldnt get to Finals but these Rockets are different team from before. I think its because of Ime.
The Dubs are also the reason Ime doesn’t have a ring. I’m convinced that plays into it too.
8:41 left in the 1st quarter, Sengun pulls Curry’s arm backwards very awkwardly and Curry is seen grabbing his right side from then on.
You have it backwards. Please rewatch the video.
“He pulled his arm”
Oh the humanity! 😂
Olynyk pulled Love’s arm out of it’s socket doing something similar and it put him out of the 2015 players. You’re a pretty stupid person
Olynynk put Loves arm into an arm lock. He didn’t simply pull on the arm.
Also not what happened here. I reiterate my previous point.
Ok, let me pull your arm then?
Sure.
Sounds like he’s too old. Got his arm grabbed lol come on.
Yes I’m sure you’re one of the best athletes in the world
I once kept playing after tweaking my ankle because I’d just hit a three and didn’t want to be the guy who scored and immediately tapped out. Then I took a step and remembered I’m no Steph Curry.
Can you be Seth Curry?
Luka AR and now Steph. Just the other day a week or two ago a few stars got injured together on the same day as well. Man when it rains it fuckin pours.
Crazy he kept the streak going before checking out
Man I just watched that video on Youtube with Curry’s trainer and all the things he’s been trying to do to prioritize injury prevention and longevity specifically.
There weren’t necessarily any red flags, a few silly movements but nothing that looked like it was likely to mess anything up. edit: Saw the video breakdown with the contact with Sangun, doubt there was much Steph could have done to prevent that from tweaking something even with the extra work he’s been doing
Fuck Houston
Weak mindset
Literally the only franchise that tries to injure people on purpose
Draymond
This is a reach.
yall legit play dirty AND the astros are proven cheaters, no shade towards houston as a city buuuut, your sports teams are unhinged and you gotta just recognize that before any sane person will take you seriously.
Hahahahaha really. Rent free. Don’t even have to beat y’all and still rent free. Love it
Steph owns your entire franchise lol
KD has never won a chip before or after the Warriors. Fuck KD.
Splicing the Warriors broadcast team right into Doris Burke is an act of terrorism.
Double whammy of voices I absolutely cringe when I hear talk.
Oh damn it
What was the injury?
Should just sit him vs the rockets during the regular season, their game plan is literally to hurt him
Fucking hate the Rockets.
Luka also got injured.
So did Austin Reaves :(
So this is a Lakers sub
As always, Fuck the Rockets.
I swear none of yall watch basketball
Fuck Houston, garbage city with garbage people in a garbage state. Makes sense KD would go there lmao
Dude. Get help.
