Warriors' Depth Tested in Curry's Absence

Curry has been a workhorse for the Warriors in each of the last three seasons, appearing in at least 78 regular-season games during that span. He has somehow improved on his MVP campaign from last year with an NBA-best 30.5 points per game this year.

The 27-year-old suffered a scary fall in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals against the Houston Rockets last season, but he returned to the contest late in the third quarter after going through two concussion protocol tests.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr and interim boss Luke Walton have a strong team on both sides of the ball. Curry's absence showed the rest of the team how to play without its star through stellar defenders such as Andrew Bogut.
