We’re gearing up for a thrilling rematch of the 2022 NBA Finals as the Boston Celtics prepare to host the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night. However, fans hoping to see a full-strength showdown will have to wait a bit longer.
Steph Curry, the Warriors' dynamic guard and '22 Finals MVP, will be absent from the lineup due to a persistent knee injury. This will mark Curry's 19th consecutive game on the sidelines, with his last appearance dating back to January 30 against the Detroit Pistons.
Despite the setback, Curry remains optimistic about his return this season, although a specific timeline is still up in the air. In the 39 games he’s played this season, Curry has dazzled with averages of 27.2 points, 4.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game.
This matchup marks the second and final clash between the Warriors and Celtics this season. In their previous encounter in February, Boston emerged victorious with a 121-110 win, a game Curry also missed. As the Warriors look to even the score, all eyes will be on how they adapt without their star player.
