He isn't that kind of player, but that doesn't mean this isn't true.
Steph Curry will miss his fifth consecutive game with a knee injury for the Golden State Warriors when they host the Spurs on Wednesday, the team's final game before the All-Star break. It will be his 15th missed game this season, so if he misses three more, he won't be eligible for end-of-season awards. He has more of a legitimate reason to return quickly to ensure he makes an All-NBA team than he does to help his team's postseason positioning.
