Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry made headlines recently after an uncharacteristic shooting performance during the first half of a game, going 0-of-8 from three-point range. Despite dealing with a nagging thumb injury, Curry was quick to dismiss the idea that it hindered his game.
In a post-game interview, Curry acknowledged the tough night but emphasized personal accountability. "It wasn't the thumb. I just missed shots I should have made," Curry said. "It’s on me to find my rhythm and make better plays for the team."
Curry's comments highlight the championship mindset that has defined his career. Known for his ability to shake off poor starts, he remains a consistent leader for the Golden State Warriors. In the second half, he regained his composure, showcasing his resilience with timely assists and improved shooting that helped Golden State stay competitive.
The Warriors, currently in a tight NBA playoff race, rely heavily on Curry’s leadership. While the thumb injury is being monitored, the two-time MVP’s determination to hold himself accountable serves as a rallying point for his teammates and fans alike.
As the season progresses, Warrior Nation will undoubtedly continue to look to Curry to rise above challenges—injured thumb or not—and guide the team toward another NBA championship run.
