The Warriors received bad news this week, as it was reported that guard Stephen Curry will be out indefinitely with a sprained right foot. Curry suffered the injury Wednesday night after colliding with Marcus Smart during a game against the Celtics.
However, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr is choosing to take an optimistic stance on the injury, explaining the silver lining to Curry missing time.
“The silver lining is that Steph will get a break before the playoffs come,” Kerr said, via NBC Sports Bay Area’s Monte Poole. “Assuming everything goes well, he’ll be ready to roll. As far as the team is concerned, it will give us an opportunity to learn how to execute without him, which will come in handy during those minutes during the playoffs when he’s off the floor.”
