With their inability to gain momentum in time for the 2024 NBA Playoffs, the Golden State Warriors are on the verge of becoming the most notorious team of the 2023–2024 season. This season, the Dubs have received significant contributions from Jonathan Kuminga and several other bright young players, primarily Kuminga, but they still rely far too heavily on Curry’s hot hand to win every game.
Curry’s playing status against the Jazz was recently updated, and it does not look good for the Dubs’ chances of making the playoffs this spring and summer. Coach Steve Kerr’s team received this information recently. The announcement coincided with the publication of a report that showed the worst-case playoff scenarios for the Warriors in 2024. It also occurred at the same time that former general manager Bob Myers made the startling admission regarding the Draymond Green punch on Jordan Poole in the leaked video.

In actuality, Curry has a lot of tread left on his tire given his four NBA championships and extensive, legendary record of playing significant minutes during postseason play.
The Dubs will now have to proceed without knowing for sure how strong he will be in the most important play-in and play-out matches against younger opponents as the postseason gets closer.
day matchup against the Jazz, Curry’s injury update took center stage on Saturday.
Curry’s Injuries Updated
Reporter Anthony Slater reports that Curry will not play against the Jazz on Sunday. Curry has participated in 71 games this season, but he most likely won’t add this Sunday’s home game against the Jazz to his resume.
The team led by Coach Kerr and “Chef” Curry will play the Jazz on Sunday night at 8:30 p.m. To the uninformed NBA fan, the Warriors appear to be in for a relatively simple victory on paper.
The Jazz are a young, up-and-coming team that has everything to gain and nothing to lose. Astute fans should be aware of this. Even though he has had his moments, Klay Thompson has also recently displayed signs of aging. The task facing Coach Kerr’s team on Sunday will become even more difficult if Wiggins and Kuminga are unable to play against the Jazz.
As part of a breakout season, Kuminga is averaging more than 16 points per game, while veteran forward Wiggins, 29, is averaging more than 14 points per game. With Curry out, the Warriors will need to score big in order to defeat the Jazz on Sunday. It’s just another challenge for the Dubs in a season full of them.
For Warriors supporters, there’s good news: Curry doesn’t seem to be dealing with any serious injuries right now that would keep him from playing. It’s true that he sprained his right ankle last month. The bad news is that after a hard-fought, close road loss to the Utah Jazz on Sunday, the Warriors’ resident iron man seems worn out. This is especially concerning given the gravity of the situation.
