On Saturday, the Golden State Warriors quietly put out an update on Steph Curry’s health. Calendars had been circled for February 1, as the Warriors had long scheduled that as the day when a re-evaluation would occur. In recent weeks, videos of Curry practicing had lent credence to the early return optimism that some fans had harnessed.
The injury update wasn’t bad; not at all. But it wasn’t the great news that would have ignited Dub Nation. It was simply this: As good as the progress has been, Curry’s out for all of February, at the very least.
