Steph Curry injury update

During the Warriors win over the Houston Rockets, Curry injured his tailbone by falling over the stands. While everyone expected him to return soon, an MRI showed inflammation."I knew it was going to be interesting," the player himself gave the Steph Curry injury update, adding that he got through it even though it was not fun. "And was able to keep warm and deal with the pain and just play, so it will be something to manage in the near future, but it'll continue to heal as I get some more time".
