The Golden State Warriors were having a rough Wednesday night when they were losing to the Indiana Pacers in a game that they needed to win. However, the day is so much worse now knowing that Stephen Curry might have hurt his shoulder trying to keep Golden State in this game.
The team has rallied without Curry on the floor, who checked out of the game with his shoulder injury while at 38 points. Fans are worried about Curry and the Warriors given the slow start the team has had and the incredible form of Steph.

Steph Curry is officially out for the game. Left shoulder injury. Nothing further from Warriors as of yet.

Steph Curry scored 38 points in 30 minutes, going 11-for-19 from the field and 5-for-10 on 3-pointers before leaving with a left shoulder injury.

Definitely a position where you can sublux/dislocate your shoulder but don’t think I see his shoulder actually come out
Could have a capsular injury or muscular strain around the shoulder as well
Presume Curry has an MRI tomorrow to asses his labrum and surrounding structures https://t.co/vmr0jjjohU

Praying that Curry's shoulder injury is minor. Shoulder injuries can be very tricky/naggy even if minor.

Thankfully curry’s injury didn’t look to bad. But I’m sure they’ll keep him out couple games. And sucks bc he had 38,7,7 and still quarter to go. Could of still win with him.

This injury doesn’t look like a major one, right now. Hopefully, no bad news comes out of the Warriors’ medical center about Curry’s health. A long absence for him right now might be too big a hill for this team to overcome.
Can The Golden State Warriors Compete Without Stephen Curry?
The worry for the Warriors this season has been their inconsistency without Steph on the court. While Jordan Poole is a great stylistic replacement, he hasn’t shown the consistent proficiency that we know Curry can provide. Poole is also not the greatest shooter in NBA history, so it isn’t a fair comparison, to begin with.
Hopefully, this absence isn’t a very long one and Steph can return soon. He is playing some of the best basketball of his career and this is an unnecessary derailment for the reigning Finals MVP.
Curry has said he doesn’t feel like he’s slowing down and is often compared to the best in the game still like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Luka Doncic. If he’s on the court, the Warriors are playoff locks. Without him, it’s going to be a bit harder.
