Jimmy Butler sends perfect message about Steph Curry injury

The Warriors may have beaten the Raptors 117-114, but Stephen Curry’s hard fall and potential pelvic injury overshadowed the win. The 37-year-old underwent an MRI, and with the playoffs approaching, Golden State is holding its breath.

Kerr cautious over Curry

Head coach Steve Kerr confirmed Curry wanted to return but was held out as a precaution. A full update is expected soon, but with the Warriors clinging to sixth in the West, they may play it safe.

While Curry’s status dominates the headlines, rookie Quinten Post made a statement off the bench, scoring 18 points on six threes. Draymond Green praised him, saying, “I told Joe Lacob this kid could help us.”

Butler’s ‘perfect’ reality check

The Warriors pride themselves on depth, but Jimmy Butler made it clear that losing Curry changes everything.

“Hopefully he’s with us, but if not, we have to play perfect basketball,” Butler said, with the thought of a potential operation.

“We can’t turn the ball over. We can’t foul. We don’t have the one guy who can get us back into the game.”

Without Curry, it seems as though perfection might be the Warriors' only option.
