A sickening thud was enough to silence the Chase Center. Stephen Curry’s piercing scream turned the mood in an instant. The Warriors secured a close 117-114 win against the Raptors, but probably at a cost too high. While driving to the basket, Curry collided with Jonathan Mogbo and Colin Castleton, and crashed back first on the floor. He walked back to the locker room on his own, but the grimace said everything. And now the confirmation is finally here on his injury timeline.
Following the incident, the Warriors quickly conducted an MRI on Curry. In the postgame press conference, head coach Steve Kerr said, “He was trying to come back. He thought he might be able to come back. But we just decided not to risk anything. Hopefully, it’s not bad but he’s getting imagery right now… By the time we got down there, he was already getting the imagery.” The reports are finally out now.
According to Shams Charania, “Stephen Curry’s pelvic area confirmed a contusion and no structural damage.” The ESPN insider further revealed that the 36-year-old will miss the team’s upcoming six-game road trip.

Instead of upsetting the community, oddly enough, the news seemed to bring a bit of relief. “A contusion is great news. The impact from the fall sounded bad. Glad he’s good,” one fan wrote on Charania’s X post and the others soon followed.

Another fan expressed their relief by stating, “Good news that there’s no structural damage, but missing the start of the road trip is still a blow. Hopefully, Curry recovers quickly—Warriors need him down the stretch!” With the playoffs just around the corner, the Warriors will definitely need the 4x champion by their side. Had it been anything more serious than a contusion, he might have had to miss the postseason run. So, resting him now could help keep him fresh.
