Curry has averaged 18.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 6.7 assists per game in three games.
The Golden State Warriors have made a dominating start to their season, winning five out of the six games. Buddy Hield has led the charge in the absence of Stephen Curry, but fans are eagerly anticipating the return of their superstar, who is currently sidelined due to injury.
Curry, who sustained an ankle injury in the team’s loss against the Los Angeles Clippers, missed out on the double-header wins against the New Orleans Pelicans.
However, it seems that Curry’s return is not far away as the star guard got upgraded from out to questionable on the Warriors’ official injury report.
Curry has averaged 18.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 6.7 assists per game in three games.

While Curry being sidelined due to injury was a big blow for the Warriors, it didn’t stop them from winning.
Despite Steph Curry missing three games, the Warriors have managed 103 3-pointers which is the most in franchise history through the first six games of a season.
And most of the credit goes to Buddy Hield.
The Warriors’ new signing has stepped up in the absence of Curry. The 31-year-old is averaging 22.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in the first six games.
During the Warriors’ recent win over the Rockets, Hield set a new NBA record, becoming the first player in league’s history to make at least 27 three-pointers in their first six games with a team.
Through six games Hield has scored 30 3-pointers, only behind Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards’ who drained 32 3Ps so far this season.
The Golden State Warriors will take on Washington Wizards on Monday, November 3, 2024 at 7:15 PM ET. at Capital One Arena.
