Steph Curry is expected to miss significant time with an oblique injury.
Friday’s blowout loss against the Spurs was the Warriors’ first matchup without their superstar. The following day, the NBA announced that Wednesday’s game between the Mavericks and Warriors will no longer be televised by ESPN.
Instead, the network will broadcast Celtics-Nuggets at 6:30 p.m. PT. The Warriors’ game was changed to 5 p.m. PT.
Without Curry in the mix, it’s clear the Warriors lack a certain amount of star power on the screen.
Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg has had a phenomenal start to the season, but his performance against San Antonio showed there is still room for improvement as the rookie attempts to navigate a leadership role with Golden State.
The Warriors will reevaluate Curry in two weeks, but until then, Lendeborg will be a pivotal part in trying to keep the team afloat while its superstar is sidelined.
Last season, the Warriors went 13-26 in games Curry didn’t play. The hope is that Golden State can retain its winning record while the 38-year-old recovers.
