The team announced on Thursday that Stephen Curry will not play for the rest of the season due to a partial dislocation on his left shoulder.
Curry will be out for a minimum of 2 weeks, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic, while the Warriors haven't announced an official return date for him.
Charania also reported that Curry will not need to undergo any surgery and is expected to return to the match within a month.
