Stephen Curry tried to do it all today but alas, he failed, and more than that he succumbed to an incident on the court. The 6’3″ guard was rushed off the court after a collision and didn’t return for the rest of the game.

The reason was that Steph apparently suffered a shoulder injury. And while it didn’t seem very serious at first glance, he was ushered to the locker room.
The Warriors without Steph were miserable. With the point guard in play, they still didn’t have too many answers for the Pacers’ offense. Curry did everything and they were still behind.

The game was so out of reach for Steph and the Warriors that he was seen exhausted after the first half. GSW still trailed by 2o.

Warrior fans will be hoping the news isn’t all that bad as they have 4 more games left on the road trip. And worse would be an injury that leaves Curry sidelined for a prolonged period.
The Warriors are 14-15 this season, not the best record by any means. They will need their talisman if they want to keep a winning record.
