The Golden State Warriors have navigated the rocky waters and now their captain in Stephen Curry is on his way back. According to NBA.com, Curry could return to the Warriors on Jan. 13.

Curry is expected to make a successful recovery from a left shoulder injury in time for the Warriors’ game against the San Antonio Spurs, according to general manager Bob Myers of the Warriors.

“He’s going to get evaluated this weekend, and he’s working out on the court,” Myers said. “The two-week mark to evaluate him was this weekend, but there’s been no, at this point, setbacks or anything like that. So that would be — what, the first road game is on Friday.”

Curry has not played since Dec. 14. The Warriors currently sit one game above .500 and are ninth in the Western Conference. They are 6-4 in their last 10 games.

Milwaukee Bucks Lead Boycott of NBA Playoff Games in Wake Of Jacob Blake Shooting

Heading into NBA Media Day, crowning the best player in the NBA is simple for Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antentokounmpo. Speaking to the media, he thinks the top spot goes to Stephen Curry.

“I think the best player in the world is the person that is the last man standing,” Antetokounmpo said. “It’s the person that takes his team to the Finals, the finish line and helps them win the game. … that’s how I view it. I believe the best player in the world is Steph Curry.”

In various offseason lists, Antentokounmpo comes in pole position, but that means nothing to him.

“I got jealous of Golden State, seeing them in the parade and the ESPYs,” Giannis added. “You know that feeling now. You know what is getting stripped away from you.”

With that fire in his heart, good luck to the Philadelphia 76ers, who open against the Bucks on Oct. 20.

SOURCE SPORTS: Stephen Curry Says the Warriors Explored Bringing Back Kevin Durant This Summer

Warriors

Earlier in the summer, when Kevin Durant was still available via trade, there were rumors of a possible reunion with the Golden State Warriors. Speaking with Rolling Stone, Warriors star guard Stephen Curry revealed the team did explore the idea of adding Durant back into the fold.

“There was a conversation internally amongst us about ‘If he was available, would you?’” Curry said. “Every team has those conversations, and obviously in our situation, they’re gonna call me and ask me, ‘How do you feel about it?’

“I was never hesitant. The idea of playing with KD and knowing who he is as a person, from our history in those three years, I think KD’s a really good dude. I think he is misunderstood. I think he has had certain things happen in his life that hurt his ability to trust people around him, in a sense of making him feel safe at all times. So all of those things, I understand, having played with him and gotten to know him. I love that dude.”

Ultimately the deal didn’t happen, and Durant is back in Brooklyn, which Curry was telling Snoop Dogg was the best deal for him.

“Man, he thinks that they’re gonna go to teams — like if he went to Phoenix — that they’re gonna be the same team if he’s there,” Curry said to Snoop.

SOURCE SPORTS: Golden State Warriors Win 4th Ring in 8 Years, Steph Curry Named MVP

The Larry O’Brien trophy is headed back to The Bay Area. The Golden State Warriors walked into Boston’s TD Garden and beat the Celtics in Game 6 of the NBA Finals 103-90, securing another championship to their dynastic run. For the first time in his historic career, Stephen Curry was named Finals MVP.

As the win became realistic for the Warriors, the emotions were clear on Steph Curry’s face as he fought back tears, eventually letting them flow in the game’s final seconds.

“This one is definitely different because of the three years of baggage we carried coming out of that Game 6 in 2019,” Curry said in postgame. “I can say it now, I don’t know how many teams could carry that as long as we have with the expectations of comparing us now to teams of past and make it to the mountaintop again.”

That baggage included injuries to Curry, Draymond Green and the two-year absence of Klay Thompson due to major leg injuries, the departure of Kevin Durant, losing in the 2019 NBA Finals, blending new pieces, relocating to a new stadium in San Francisco after years of being based in Oakland and some of the toughest competition in NBA history.

“People called me crazy. I said championship or bust because I saw how we came out of the gates,” Thompson said. “I knew we had a chance to do something special, and here we are. It’s so incredible. Wow.”

In close-out Game 6, Curry scored 24 points on 12-of-21 shooting, dropping six threes in just one game after going 0-9 from long range. Green added a box score stuffing 12 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

SOURCE SPORTS: Andrew Wiggins Leads the Golden State Warriors to 3-2 Lead in NBA Finals

It’s officially scary hours in Boston as the Golden State Warriors relied on Andrew Wiggins, who stepped up for an ice-cold Stephen Curry and win Game 5. The Warriors will return to Boston for a Game 6 against the Celtics, which can clinch their fourth championship in eight years.

In the 104-94 victory, Wiggins scored 26 points and added 13 rebounds, two steals, and two assists. Although Wiggins led the team, the win placed the trio of Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson in rare air as they have the most Finals game wins of any trio in decades.

After the game, Green reflected on the trade that landed Wiggins, noting fans and analysts looked at Wiggins as just a “piece.”

“A lot of people looked at that trade like, oh, that’s another piece they can move,” Green said to ESPN. “We looked at the trade from the very beginning like that is a guy who can fit next to a healthy group absolutely well. … He’s continued to show that. He’s continued to get better. He’s taken on every challenge that we have thrown in front of him. And that’s been huge. And we need him to do that for one more win.”

Wiggins, coming over after being a key in the Minnesota Timberwolves, spoke about the adjustment and stated he loves the winning culture.

“They have won before, and they have dominated the NBA,” Wiggins said. “When I got here, they put you in position to succeed. They always bring out the best in you. They want the best for you. You know, supportive.”

Game 6 of the NBA Finals will be this Thursday at 9 EST.
