Steph Curry Reveals Pelvic Injury Was 'Deep Serious Contusion' After Warriors Return

Steph Curry's return to the Golden State Warriors' lineup on Friday came despite some lingering pain after being diagnosed with a pelvic injury.

Curry revealed that he suffered a "deep serious contusion" that was reminiscent of an injury he had in 2021. Curry said he can play but will "feel it for a while."

"It just reminded me of '21 when I fell into the stairs in Houston," Curry said, per Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN. "I think that [this time it didn't] break anything or have any bone damage, was mostly just a deep serious contusion that I'll feel it for a while. But I can play and I can't make it worse as long as I don't land on it again."

Curry scored 23 points and added six assists in the Warriors' 111-95 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. He missed two games due to the contusion, both of which the Warriors lost.

He is averaging 24.1 points, six assists and 4.5 rebounds in 61 appearances so far this season. He has helped Golden State go 42-31 thus far. Golden State is tied with the Los Angeles Clippers for the sixth seed in the Western Conference.

Losing Curry for a significant stretch would torpedo the Warriors chances of avoiding the play-in tournament, so Curry deciding to play through the pain should be a welcome boost as the Dubs look to close out the regular season strong.
