Curry lead the Warriors to a 15-5 record in their final 20 games, averaging over 37ppg in the same.

During the post-game press conference tonight, Kent Bazemore slipped up and revealed that Curry’s injury was more serious than the Warriors were making others believe.

Kent Bazemore called it a “hairline fracture” that Steph Curry had in his tailbone. Warriors had been calling it a contusion the last couple months.

Despite having a fracture, Curry had a spectacular season and is one of the final MVP candidates. With the time off now, Stephen Curry would focus on recovery, and prepare for the next season in the right fashion.
