Warriors Woes Continue After Stephen Curry Breaks His Hand

The Golden State Warriors have got off to a rough 1-3 start to the 2019-20 National Basketball Association regular-season schedule, and now they will be without their star point guard Stephen Curry for the foreseeable future. On Wednesday night in a 121-110 loss to the Phoenix Suns, Curry broke his hand in the third quarter.

The loss of Curry is something the Warriors will have a monumental time in trying to replace. The two-time NBA MVP is literally the heart and soul of the Warriors and continues to be one of the best point guards in the NBA, and possibly NBA history.

By losing by double digits to a Suns squad that is still in the stages of rebuilding at home explains just how bad things are for Golden State at the moment. It will now be interesting to see what exactly the Warriors do at the point guard position to replace Curry.

A year ago the Warriors were loaded with depth as they had DeMarcus Cousins, Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson also on their roster. However Thompson will be out for most of the season with an ACL injury, Cousins is now with the Los Angeles Lakers and Durant is now property of the Brooklyn Nets.

In the Warriors’ loss to the Suns, it was Golden State rookie forward Eric Paschall who led the team with 20 points. If the Warriors need their second round pick out of Villanova to carry them offensively, they are all of a sudden in deep, deep trouble.

Just getting the Warriors to the postseason will be a challenging task for Warriors head coach Steve Kerr. In addition to the loss to the Suns, the Warriors were hammered 141-122 to the Los Angeles Clippers and 120-92 to the rebuilding Oklahoma City Thunder so far in their first four games. The Warriors’ only win came on Monday when they beat the New Orleans Pelicans 134-123. That could be their last win in a while.
