Curry injury update

According to the Athletic, the reigning NBA Finals MVP is making good progress and is set to be reevaluated in two weeks. The team had said the MVP candidate will not need surgery.

The team statement read:

"The re-evaluation indicated that Stephen is making good progress. He will be re-evaluated again in two weeks."

Curry is having another great season averaging 30 points, 6.6 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game. Curry's teammate Draymond Green said the team is fragile at the moment, per CBS Sports.

The good news is the Warriors have the best home record ahead of their eight-game homestand. Can Klay Thompson and Co hold on till their star returns?

Curry no-look three

Sports Brief earlier reported on Curry shooting and making a no-look three-pointer against the Boston Celtics.

With the clock winding down, the 34-year-old got Celtics forward Sam Hauser on a switch and put some moves on him before connecting a step-back 3-pointer as the buzzer rang.

In true Curry fashion, he turned his back on his 30-foot attempt before it went through the net.
