All 7 of Steph Curry’s Injuries vs the Rockets
It is crazy that these all happened against one team, but I think you gotta be tripping to say that any of them were dirty plays
I understand being viscerally angry in the moment that your star got injured but Warriors fans were talking crazy last night lmao
Curry has had over 40 injuries in his career.
Curry ain’t BRON and this is reason #1 why. He just isn’t built as tough or durable as BRON.
I think reason #1 has to be that they have different mommies and daddies
Bron had more durable parents?
Too bad he was durable enough to play in all those finals
He has the same amount of rings as Bron though and couldn’t beat the freaking Cavs with a 3-1 lead. That’s putrid.
Bron > Curry
That’s how the story is written. Steph glazers be damned.
Those werent warriors fans or basketball fans but Curry fans looking to push an agenda
It’s seems more that Curry is trying too hard against Houston
I’ve been saying this for years. Curry plays 10000% effort and does all he can to beat the rockets but when he plays other teams he just play smarter and chills
Insane take lol
As a Warriors fan, I would say none of these are intentional or deliberately dirty like the stuff Dillon Brooks used to pull. Although, I will say that this particular version of the Rockets are extremely physical with Steph. It’s actually understandable since hard and physical defense is the best way to slow down Steph.
Even though Sengun got tangled up arms with Steph, he didn’t intentionally try to hurt him. The injury is a byproduct of having your short guy screen a significantly taller guy. Steph is usually a good screen setter so him letting his arms get tangled like that is really bad luck.
Steph put his arm around Sengun, I mean, he really did it to himself. Like you said, all of these were just him playing hard and a little bit of bad luck
They still are lol. Just a dumb group of fans.
Warriors fans cannot help themselves but call a team dirty. It’s like a compulsion they have despite you know, cheering for Draymond for over a decade. It’s nothing new, and it’s been focused on the Rockets for a long time. Mostly because they actually made the bandwagoners of the 2010s fear for their choice of wagon.
You can attribute all of these to random bullshit too. Most are non-contact injuries, a few are Steph being a dumbass or just flailing around, and then you have the two Sengun injuries. One of which is a genuinely freak injury you’d more often see in Hockey with the Knee to Knee contact. The other can be attributed quite a bit to a near 40 year old man setting a screen on a guy nearly a foot taller than him. While also trying to wrap him up.
Yeah the Rockets played hard against him last night, good teams play hard against old players. That’s what makes players like Kareem and LeBron so special. Steph is an injury prone player who’s well past the wrong side of 30, shit like this was almost bound to happen. There’s a reason he was getting rest days.
Hahah got your ass typing John, let it all out bud
If a grown ass person is typing this, I might weep for the low we have stooped to. A passing glance at the failing of creativity.
rockets player literally punches a warriors player
You: warriors fan cannot help themselves but call a team dirty.
the punch didn’t even land and it’s marcus smart who’s been a rocket for like 2 weeks. Draymond has punched more warriors players than any Rockets player has
Goalpost
I feel like their local broadcast crew has a lot of them trained to react like this over everything.
I can think of a couple against the suns, one being Baynes breaking his hand via sitting on it
The closest to dirty is Ariza not attempting to break Steph’s fall in the first clip but that is a long long way from dirty and I’m not even sure there was anything he could have done
this video isnt total. there are more
Post your proof.
Narrator: he would not post any proof
Let’s see it.
upon further investigation, this is what hurt steph this is even worse than what we had originally thought. fucknig dirty ass houston you think this is basketball?now that you bitch asses got exposed with PROOF. you can’t deny shit.you’re a fucking trash ass franchise with the dirtiest head coach in NBA history. you’re essentially sean payton of the NBA with bounty gate.
Direct quotes from the most normal warriors fan last night
now that you bitch asses got exposed with PROOF
They’ll never listen to this about moving screens or Draymond’s birch ass
Zaza Pachulia literally getting the landing space foul rule implemented
Draymond tried to cave in Sabonis’s sternum, too.
He tried to save Gobert from eating bad Foie Gras by heimliching him from the throat
I’m so sick of this narrative. If he wanted to hurt him he would’ve done so easily.
and then the rule not even being enforced the very next season against the Rockets where Klay and Jordan Bell got away with it multiple times against Harden in the playoffs.
Okay, but the last time Pachulia was with the Warriors was the 17-18 season. Can we let it go? It doesn’t excuse Brooks’ treatment of Curry for years.
Warriors fan here. Moving screens are bullshit and illegal.
Must suck having a dynasty built on them
I’m imaging Draymond with a literal birch ass and tbh it would explain why he’s so irritable. Can’t ever get comfy or sit comfy with a birch ass.
you’re a joke. your team is a joke. and your coach has the whole team taking bath salts “almost blinded harden” oh stfu. Everyone has been poked in the eye playing basketball. You know what I’ve NEVER seen? Someone trying to swing at an injury over and over the way dillon brooks did in the 2025 playoffs
Again, if you’re going to cite draymond as the dirtiest player ever, I’m gonna need you to find a single example of him causing a real injury in game. Not an eye poke. Not him kicking someone in the nuts. Him taking someone out of the air. Running over a smaller player like he’s derrick henry
I’ve never had to go into a game worrying that Caruso or Jrue is gonna hurt Steph. Other great defenses arent like this. Every single Ime rockets game i have to worry about your team. From Dillon brooks, to Amen, to Marcus smart. It’s Ime. Ime is a fucking menace. I never hated the harden rockets the way i hate ime’s team
This is all one comment by a very well adjusted warriors fan made today
Lmao I don’t think I’ve ever written anything this long to my wife let alone a Reddit rando.
I saw less crying at the Ayatollah’s funeral
u seem to be confusing length of lack of clarity, 2 paragraphs isn’t really that long lmao. but he’s absolutely right that there are teams i’m going to expect steph to struggle with and there are the rockets who’s only goal is to injure the warriors at all costs lmao. and then failed to win as the 2nd seed doing that🤣
Yeah if you think this comment is logically sound, especially that 2nd paragraph about Draymond, you’re delusional. Sycophancy levels not seen since Jan 6.
i would say i’m as logical as rockets fans who think there was some big conspiracy against them in 2018-19 when they just choked 5 times in a row. but also, name a player that missed time because of draymond? i know jimmy missed time bc of amen
womp womp
warriors fans crying about a team being dirty is the most ironic thing I’ve read in a quick minute
esp when you consider what they got away with against Houston back in 2018 and 2019 as if that stacked ass warriors roster needed ref help lol
Draymond fingerbanged Hardens eyesocket 3x in one game and got called for 1 foul. All the Klay undercuts too
Sharingan Harden popped off tho
Harden getting his sharingan unlocked was a fun moment. He needed to sacrifice Pj Tucker to evolve it tho
I’m old. In my day, he would’ve gone Super Saiyan
Said our team has the dirtiest players in the league while Draymond is sitting right there
Flair relevant. Also that chuckle fuck Podz tripping Wemby on purpose and getting him injured. Kerr and gang can all get bent.
Serious question because the discourse I’m seeing is confusing me. Do y’all think when Draymond does dirty shit and talks shit and gets ejected and all his other childish nonsense that we cheer him and think it’s awesome?
did draymond ever hurt harden or KD? please find one example of draymond taking out harden or KD in like 75 games against the two guys amen has played 10 games against steph and/or jimmy and hurt them 3 times lmao who is the dirtier player, really? Draymond yells at refs and hacks. Amen uses 2010 lebron james athleticism to dive at your best players knee
Like I’m sure most warriors fans are fine, but y’all have some of the most insane braindead morons who downplay having the most dirty player in the modern era.
Fair enough that’s a pretty stupid comment. Well in my household the most common thing you’d hear is “Draymond stop being a fucking idiot”
Where’s the lie?
lmao that’s amazing
Only team in these clips that has had a new category of foul introduced because they had caused multiple injuries to players is the Warriors and the rule in question was introduced smack dab in the middle of the championship years.
Hahaha tears in my eyes ty
I’m a warriors homer all day and think Steph gets a bad whistle but these are just normal plays with bad luck.
De_cpl_mill is better
None of these look bad. Warrior fans make it sound like the Rockets took out a hit on him.
Some of them he gets injured just for existing lmao
I really do not understand wtf Warriors fans are saying.
The tech bros just lost a lot of money on Nvidia. They’re not making sense right now
Me and some other dude are fuming right now in our company logo quarter zips and All Birds.
They wrongly taking out Brooks hate on Houston. Dillion Brooks was out of control tackling Curry and purposefully hitting his injured hand in the series vs Houston.
They need to learn to separate Brooks vs Houston. Brooks also took out fan favorite GP2 with an extremely reckless play breaking his arm in the playoffs while GP2 was playing for really for first real contract of the year.
Yep pretty much. He was still like this in their recent game against the Warriors.
They need to learn to separate Brooks vs Houston
I agree.
A lot of these he’s injuring himself, non-contact on like 3 of these, one he’s swiping at a ball and his finger bends back, one he’s flying at Ariza’s head. The two involving Sengun is nothing dirty. He runs into a Sengun screen and this one from tonight where he’s trying to set a screen on Sengun.
I mean they are lucky Adams wasn’t setting those screens, multiple players have gotten hurt running into Steven Adams. It happens sometimes.
Only one that looks sus is Josh Christopher since he didn’t give him landing space on a jump shot.
You mean the one where KPJ contests, Curry lands fine, and then Curry injures himself falling off-court? There is not an ounce of “sus” in that play at all.
Fr wtf. Curry lost balance after the shot and continued falling off court. No one has anything to do with that 💀
Agreed mos rod these seem like just bad luck more than anything. Especially the one where that rockets player fell and slid across the court and Steph tripped in his sweat streak. Just freak accident
Like what the fuck was he even doing in the first one
Contesting the shot, played ball before?
Yeah and Curry fucked up there, it’s not hard to admit
Yeah, but it wasn’t confusing?
As always, people don’t actually watch games. They just invent a narrative and run with it
people really created a narrative that Rockets were injuring him intentionally lmao
Warriors fans just can’t help themselves. Back in their dynasty days on this sub, they simultaneously wanted to be slept-on underdogs who never got a fair whistle while also being crowned the best team in the league and downvoted anyone saying otherwise.
Now that they’re not as good, they want to be victims. Seriously the worst fanbase on this sub.
It’s pretty amusing. They complained about having referees hate them, meanwhile they perpetually pull off illegal moving screens. And then, there’s Draymond. And of course, Zaza.
The Rockets did that in 2025, they were trying to injure Curry further
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/AHz93iGTgJ
Meanwhile when Draymond stomps Sabonis:
He jumped with his other foot to avoid putting any weight on his chest. If you’ve ever accidentally stepped on your dog in the dark, you know this move. But it’s draymond so people see what they want
the bad one was 100% on curry
It’s so annoying dude. I don’t have the same attachment to Brooks that other Rockets fans have, so I definitely think Warriors fans were justified with the hand thing, but all these injuries were unlucky.
Correct. But two things are true. All of these injuries were in the natural flow of the game. And also the Rockets in their last playoff series were insanely physical and often dirty in order to stop Steph.I never thought they were dirty until the last few years. The Harden years were standard defenses.But Ime Udoka definitely has them trying to Jordan Rules Steph
The only one time the Rockets were actually dirty was in 2025, which isn’t in the clip here
Dillon Brooks was intentionally trying to injure Curry’s finger after the play, and the refs allowed the Rockets and especially Brooks and Amen to play football. The refs had zero control in that series
I’m pretty sure this was not posted by a Warriors fan. I don’t see someone making the argument “The Rockets are dirty players watch this utterly unconvincing reel them hurting Curry.” But seriously, Dillon Brooks as a Rocket absolutely tried on more than one occasion.
becuase this video doesn’t have all of them lol
You gota watch the games. The most dirty plays aren’t the ones that eventually injure him. Are they trying to injure him? Nah I don’t think so. But they definitely have directive to rough him up. Ime has basically admitted to it
I mean kinda? 3 minutes in.
Waaaaah
I got more reasons to hate Rockets more than any other fanbase but none of these looks like their fault or intentional.
Why do Warrior’s fans try to create that narrative? It’s also weird they have the most dirty entitled player on their team for more than a decade.
Are they frustrated because it always happens against Rockets? I don’t watch all Rockets vs Warriors game all the time.
It’s mostly an overreaction due to Houston playing very physical off ball defense on Steph over the last few years, none of which is related to these clips.
everyone gets held and pulled off-ball. it happens to cooper flagg 100 times a game when he’s fighting for position. same with wemby and KD. it just so happens steph runs around off-ball more than others, so the grabbing and pulling happens more. btw, the physical off-ball defense is a direct response to the dozens of illegal screens the warriors get away with.
I hate to say it but the amount of illegal screens that all teams get away with now is directly because of the warriors. I feel like moving screens don’t even get called anymore.
I personally thanked Andrew Bogut for helping the Heat make the finals in ‘23
I’ve watched many games where the other team is trying to intentionally foul curry and there’s no whistle. Like end of the quarter or game trying to foul to stop the clock and get a chance to win. No hiding it, an obvious wrap up/grab for an intentional foul and nothing.
You’re pointing out something that’s happened 1-2 times maximum and has most likely happened to other players too, including LeBron. Stop painting Steph as some victim. It’s embarrassing.
Wouldn’t not calling the intentional foul actually benefit Curry and the Warriors? Intentional fouls are usually done by the losing team to preserve time. If anything, that’s a nocall in favor of Curry, which hurts your point that the refs don’t give him calls.
find me a superstar who isn’t played physically off-ball. There isn’t one.
that’s an ime udoka thing
I’ve watched every rockets warriors game. The rockets play rough and scrappy against them more than any other team.
To be fair, when it comes to injuries, you probably hate the warriors more
We didn’t create the narrative.
This clip is terrible but it’s true that Ime and the Rockets were intentionally trying to injure curry in 2025, which was undeniable by anyone watching that series
Dillon Brooks didn’t deny it, he was actually the opposite. He was proud of it
Call it basketball and strategy sure, but we can also call it dirty
Dillon said the plan was to drive on Steph on whatever side his injured hand was because he would be worse at defending with it
Wasn’t he trying to smack his thumb once after curry had made the shot? Pretty nasty if so
if so true if big
And what actually happened was that he was swiping at the hand after plays were over
Loser and dirty behavior
even if he was doing this intentionally, dillon brooks is no longer on the roster and was only here for 2 seasons. if a player that has only been here for that long is enough to prove an entire organization is dirty, then i guess the warriors are the dirtiest team in the league with draymond being on the team for 15 years.
Curry is an extremely unique player. The one that you get to see once every 20 years. He’s fun to watch and amazing player/person. He’s also unstoppable sometimes and requires a very physical defense including close contact. Seeing him injured makes me sad especially I really wanted Spurs playing against him on Friday.
I get the frustration but some of these even happened prior to Ime era. I just don’t understand pinning it onto one team and creating a narrative around it.
The other thing is every team have had a dirty player on their roster at some point. We had Bruce, you guys have Draymond. Hell even we had one championship coming out of a dirty play by Robert Horry. We could never know what would happen without that play and Amare/Diaw needed to stay on their bench but that doesn’t change the fact that it was a dirty play benefited us.
If the intention is to harm the other players whether it’s hidden or glaringly obvious, it deserves to be punished by the league. Unfortunately they failed to do that except a couple of cases.
Again I’m not on board agreeing with this video like I said above.
My only gripe was Ime and the Rockets in 2025. It was one of the more pathetic attempts at being dirty
Because if you actually watch the games vs the Udoka Rockets they actually play a level of physicality that’s borderline reckless/dirty.
Were any of these dirty? No. But you can also look at the swiping at Curry’s injured hand in the playoffs, the numerous reckless closeouts, and illegal arm yanking off-ball that never get called in these same Rockets games.
It’s not just one play you can point at. It’s a culmination of multiple plays which is why Steph went out in the playoffs vs the Timberwolves 2 years ago after playing the Rockets in 7 games.
And since the next 5 replies are going to be about Draymond. Draymond IS a dirty player. Marcus Smart, Amen, Sengun, and (former) Dillon Brooks are also dirty players. Udoka is also probably a dirty coach since his whole strategy is to foul all the time because the refs won’t call everything.
A warriors fan complaining about reckless closeouts after what they did to Harden in 2018 lmao
Curry Yeets himself in the air. Fault: Curry
Curry…walks funny? Fault: Curry
Current slips on the floor. Fault: Curry / Slick-shoes?
Curry injures hand swiping at Capela. Fault: Curry
Curry lands a bit funny, and loses his balance, stumbling backward into the stands. Doesn’t look like he landed on or near anyone’s feet in the close-out. Fault: Gravity?
Curry bangs knees with Sengun. Clean screen. Just an awkward knee knock. Fault: Shit happens
Curry hugs Sengun and won’t let go. Illegal screen. Gets twisted with Sengun while he attempts to disengage from the hug. Fault: Curry + Old
What are we even doing here putting this as a “Rockets’ thing? Are we saying the Rockets floor crew put traps around the floor that only react to Curry’s sneakers? Or they scare him into hurting himself randomly?
I agree that these clips don’t show any malice towards Curry at all. Curry is injury-prone and on top of that he’s on the smaller side for guards, so he has to be a bit more careful especially when setting screens (and illegal ones) on bigger players.
In Clip #3, you can see the same spot that the Rockets player slides is the same spot Curry slips on the floor. I’m guessing that the sweat from the Rockets player made Curry slip lose his balance. Shit happens.
And the most recent one in Clip #7, you can see Sengun doesn’t bring his arm all the way over to his head to really hurt Steph. Just a matter of a smaller guard tangling up a bigger guard and what can be a consequence of that.
the funny thing is that if you point this out in the thread for his injury last night you get downvoted by the dozens immediately
warriors fans don’t care to live in the same reality as anyone else, it’s the same reason they defended draymond for so many years and their fuckass broadcast probably contributes heavily to that
It’s the circlejerk nature of reddit in general and explicitly this sub. Anything gets singled out and people just circlejerk/amplify on it, regardless if it’s true. It could be bots too making it worse, not sure.
It’s wild how different it is from one post to the next, too.
lol this comment made me laugh my ass off
You got is all wrong….
Ariza should’ve anticipated curry behind him and threw the ball out of bounds so no one could get hurt. Fault: Ariza
Mike and his accomplices Dan and Tony sabotaged that part of the floor pre-game to hurt Steph. Fault: Mike D’Antoni
Domatas Motiejunas clearly slid on the floor to make it sweaty and cause Curry to slip. Fault: Motiejunas
Capela gets too close to Curry’s space. Should’ve moved out the way before they contacted. Fault: Capela.
Mike, Dan, and Tony up to their old tricks again. Fault: Rockets Coaching Staff.
Sengun should’ve moved out of the way to not touch curry. He should know that’s not allowed. Fault: Sengun
Sengun apparently doesn’t speak English well and clearly doesn’t understand that he can’t get within 5ft of Curry. Should’ve let Draymond go free to the rim and avoided all contact. Fault: Sengun.
/s just in case it wasn’t obvious enough
But when Draymond stomps Sabonis it’s a routine move and it’s like when you accidentally step on your dog. I’m dead serious that’s how someone defended Draymond:
Draymond should have been kicked out of the league numerous times
Maybe he should’ve gotten several suspensions that he didn’t, but kicked out of the league is a bit much.
These injuries are not the Rockets fault. The headline got posted and a bunch of fans ran with it without actually checking the receipts.
The frustration stems from the Rockets incessantly fouling Curry off-ball in plays not shown in these clips, coupled with Udoka publicly encouraging his players to target the injuries of other players.
Ironically, Steph was fouling Sengun in the same way you all complain about when he got hurt.
Shut up Draymond Green…. Go choke somebody
….why did you call him Draymond? What a weird ass comment lol
Do you genuinely think that is Draymond Green you are speaking to?
To say that sudden injuries are somehow distinct from the load caused before it is not congruent with the literature around them.
Majority of these are his fault. Am I missing something?
After Curry got injured during their last game, Warriors fans started badmouthing the Rockets and calling their players dirty, claiming that they were always out to intentionally injure Curry. I guess that clip was supposed to disprove those accusations, and it pretty much does.
I mean, Marcus Smart threw a punch lol but nothing in that got’cha clip is dirty which is kinda funny.
It was a ridiculous claim to begin with, but every fandom has their lunatics I guess.
Udoka stated last night that Smart got Upset with the warrior player for hooking/pulling his injured arm (came back from an injury).
Smart ran up to him and expressed himself and the guy responded with “What’re are you going to do about it?” Seems like a reasonable reaction to me.
I would expect nothing less from a rockets fan.
Yeah you’re missing the fact that currysexuals have no emotional regulation
This doesn’t fit my narrative. Fuck the Rockets.
Hey, mom said it was my turn to shit on the rockets!
Warriors fans lmao
Weaponized sweat from nr. 20.
Delete this bro this doesn’t fit their narrative
So where’s the one where Dillon brooks purposely swiped at his injured hand?
https://sports.yahoo.com/article/dillon-brooks-admits-targeting-steph-133534259.html
I only included the plays where Steph got injured.
This one?
In phoenix?
https://streamable.com/o1uhhe
No in the playoffs before this, when Brooks was in Houston
Did you read the title?
Steph didn’t injure his thumb against Houston so it wouldn’t be in OP’s post
Nope check my link
Don’t see an issue with this tbh. As long as it isn’t lower body, making sure if a player is playing through an injury he feels it isn’t exactly ethical but it’s the playoffs
So much of this sub has never played sports that they don’t realize picking on an injured player within the rules of the game is exactly what a coach is going to tell you to do. The high five after a shot was legal. If they didn’t want Steph getting high fived, they could’ve told him not to shoot but they didn’t
Played sports all through high school including basketball. Never once had a coach tell me to go out of my way to engage contact with a player’s injury. I doubt Udoka even said to do that. It’s just a Brooks type move. I’m sure Draymond would do the same thing.
What is normal is to say “hey his right hand is injured, force him to dribble with his right. Or force him to drive right.” That’s very different then “I’m gonna try to smash up that hand”
my 7th grade football coach told the team he would buy a hamburger for anyone that got an unnecessary roughness penalty. the worst part is, i got the penalty and he didn’t even buy me a hamburger. lying ass coach
Attacking an injured player in a mismatch situation is fine and totally ethical. Brooks admitting to trying to hit or aggravate Steph’s hand injury crosses the line IMO.
If Steph aggravates the injury because he shot too much or hurt himself rebounding/defending, that’s on Steph. Brooks intentionally seeking contact to make the hand injury worse crosses the line into the morally questionable territory.
warriors getting back all the karma from the players they injured while they were good in the 2010s
L M A O
Coincidence? I think not 🤓
I’m confused how the Rockets are being blamed for yesterdays injuries? Sengun barely fought through the screen a bit of a turn around, and he got hurt a little bit. It happens.
Sometimes it.be like that
As a warriors fans none of these are inherently dirty
Honestly it’s just kind of a badge of longevity to play so long that people can make a supercut of you getting injured against a specific team.
If the avg Warriors fan had a fully developed prefrontal cortex they might appreciate the irony of them bitching about dirty plays/players
Lmfao these tears are hilarious 😂
Some Warriors fans are fucking stupid
This is what i meant when i said steph wouldnt survive in the 90s
Vindication. Let’s post a Draymond compilation next.
I’m glad this was posted. It sucks that he gets injured a lot and it’s weird he gets injured during rockets games so often, but essentially none of these plays are dirty.
There are moments with like Dillon Brooks swatting Steph’s injured hand, and then the injury with Butler in the playoffs which was more carelessness and clumsiness on the Rockets part.
I can only think that as the rockets have had historically highly athletic rosters compared to the rest of the league it forces Curry to push himself more than he probably should.
That first one is wild asl
I hate the Rockets and I like Steph but most of these are pretty flukey
1 - That’s on Curry for attempting to jump over Ariza.
2 - Nothing malicious happen during that inbound.
3 - Curry just slipped.
4 - Nothing malicious happen during that rebound.
5 - Nothing malicious happen during that 3pt attempt.
6 - Curry just ran into a hard screen. Didnt look like Sengun attempted to injury Curry.
7 - Curry hooked Sengun first.
xdd warriors fans are so funny. calling others dirty while they have draymond and had zaza during the period some of these clips were in
Draymond and Zaza are dirty players. How does the Warriors having dirty players preclude other teams from having them also?
