Steve Kerr Says Steph Curry Won’t Play Against The Nets Despite An ‘Encouraging’ MRI (UPDATE)

The Golden State Warriors got blown out by the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night, but you can argue this wasn’t the biggest story of the night for the two-time defending champs. Instead, that “honor” goes to Steph Curry, who had to leave the game in the third quarter due to what was eventually described as an adductor strain.

This wasn’t expected to be a season-ending injury or anything like that, but the Warriors never want to see their leader sidelined for any amount of time. Steve Kerr said in the aftermath of the game that Curry was going to get an MRI on Friday, and while meeting with the media, the Dubs coach gave a bit of news that will lead to Golden State fans breathing a sigh of relief.

According to Kerr, the two-time league MVP had an “encouraging” MRI. Still, there’s no word on when we’ll see him back on the floor, which includes ruling Curry out for Saturday’s game against the Nets.

Kerr went on to say that the Warriors won’t have Draymond Green on Saturday, either, as he’s still recovering from a sprained toe. Fortunately for Golden State, it still has Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson, so even though it’s missing two All-Stars for a to be determined amount of time, it’ll be fine in the interim.

UPDATE: The Warriors officially announced the extent of Curry’s injury. It’s formally being described as a mild to moderate left groin strain, and there’s still no timetable for him to return.
