Unfortunately, the “Chef” couldn’t participate in the NBA All-Star Game because of an injury to his leg.
Last year, Stephen Curry led the Golden State Warriors to the NBA championship title after going on an impressive run. During the 2022 All-Star Game, the “Chef” scored 50 points and was named MVP, lifting the first Kobe Bryant Trophy. However, the situation is different in 2023 as Curry was unable to participate in the NBA’s major event at the Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah due to a continuing recovery from a lower left leg injury that kept him out of the last five regular season games with the Warriors.
Stephen Curry is expected to return shortly after the NBA All-Star break. Additional information was released on Wednesday regarding the progress of his injury. While progress has been notable, the NBA’s all-time leader in three-pointers will miss at least another week of activity on the court. After that, he will be reevaluated to determine if his return is possible. “We know we are going to be without Steph for the foreseeable future, so same thing as what happened the last time he went down … we patch things together,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “The guys strung together a five-game winning streak. We held down the fort. That’s the plan this time, too.”
Steph Curry made some lighthearted jokes during a live TNT broadcast about Andre Iguodala’s skills on the golf course.
