Photo: Steph Curry (Instagram) The Golden State Warriors will be without their star, Steph Curry , for at least two games against the New Orleans Pelicans this week. Curry injured his left ankle during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers, and the team announced he will miss the next two games and be re-evaluated on Friday. Dr. David E. Oji, an orthopedic and sports medicine expert from Stanford Medicine, shared some insight into Curry's injury. He explained that Curry has strained the peroneal tendons, which are on the outside of the ankle and help with movement. This injury isn’t like a regular ankle sprain; it could involve stretched or even slightly torn tendons. In some cases, these tendons can even cause small bone fractures. Curry’s return depends on how serious the strain is. Dr. Oji said that if it’s a minor strain, Curry could return in about one to two weeks with rest and rehab. But if there are small tears or more damage, it could take longer — even severa...

Photo: Klay Thompson (Instagram) Klay Thompson recently shared how playing with the Golden State Warriors differs from what he expects with his new team, the Dallas Mavericks.

At the Mavericks' media day, Thompson talked about playing alongside star player Luka Doncic . He explained how the Mavericks’ offensive style will be different from what he was used to with the Warriors. "In Golden State, it was more about movement and passing. Here, Luka is amazing in the pick and roll, maybe the best I’ve ever seen," Thompson said. "I’ll get a lot of open shots because Luka draws so much attention from defenders." Thompson is excited to see how his skills will fit in Dallas’ system. "Playing with Luka will open up a lot of chances for me," he added. However, Thom...

Photo: Bronny James (Instagram) During the 2024 NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors decided not to draft Bronny James out of respect for his father, LeBron James ' wishes.  The Warriors had the 52nd pick, with Bronny still available, but they passed on the 19-year-old guard. Instead, they chose Quinten Post, a 7-foot center. According to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne, the Warriors liked Bronny’s skills but wanted to honor LeBron’s preferences.
