Already in difficulty in the West, the Warriors learned very bad news with the serious injury of Chris Paul. A hard blow for the franchise, to which Steph Curry reacted. He is obviously quite sad for his teammate.
While the Warriors have suffered multiple defeats since the start of the season, the situation is not really improving for the team. Despite the return of Draymond Green scheduled for next week, if all goes well, Chris Paul has broken his hand. He will be operated on in several days according to insiders, with a long absence expected afterwards. We should know more after the operation at this level.
Steph Curry cashes in on Chris Paul injury
Whatever happens, it’s a massive blow for the Dubs. CP3 hasn’t been at his best since he arrived in San Francisco, but Steve Kerr has always trusted him, to the point of propelling him into the starting 5 recently alongside Stephen Curry . At a press conference, the leader returned to the subject with journalists.
"I just feel for him, personally."

Steph Curry on Chris Paul : “I feel bad for him. I know he’s had other problems with his hand in his career. We’re trying to find rhythm as a team and he’s such a big part of that. I don’t know how long he’ll be out for, but I feel bad he’s taking so much care of his body to be ready. »
“Not everyone sees what they do to be ready, especially at this stage of their career. We’ll sort this out as a team, but personally, I hope he keeps his spirits up. »
As of yet, there is no return date for Paul, but a fractured hand will obviously take some time to heal. Bad news for the Warriors, even if the media made some interesting revelations earlier in the week. For example, we learned that the front office was not against the departure of Chris Paul before the deadline . This injury could change everything.
Stephen Curry is obviously sad for Chris Paul after this injury, especially given the Warriors’ season. We must now hope for a reaction this week, perhaps with the return of Draymond Green. The next few days will be decisive.
