The day this Saturday in the NBA opened with a great duel in between Stephen Curry and LaMelo Ball in the Golden State Warriors vs. Charlotte Hornets, however, when the game started Steph didn’t start the match despite being in uniform.
In the minutes leading up to Warriors vs. Hornets, Curry spoke with the Golden State Medical Corps and Steve Kerr the decision not to play the match. Was it a case like Kevin Durant’s and the NBA wouldn’t let him play because of the coronavirus protocols?
The answer was not long in coming … Anthony Slater, of The Athletic, reported that Stephen Curry’s absence at the start of the Warriors vs Hornets match It was not covered by NBA protocols for coronavirus cases and traces. So what happened to Steph?
This is not an absence protocol for Steph Curry, I have been told. Not feeling well. But not taken off court by the NBA.
