Team USA’s Golden Opportunity: Steph Curry’s Injury Scare at Basketball Camp

The USA Basketball training camp in Las Vegas has been making headlines, and not just because of the star-studded roster. Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry, participating in his first Olympics, had a bit of an injury scare during day two of training camp. According to reports, Curry was seen having his right hand checked out after Team USA’s scrimmage, and had been looking down at it while continuing to participate in practice.

This report caused quite the concern among Warriors fans, as it was hard to determine the extent of Curry’s discomfort from the initial report. However, in a follow-up post, it was revealed that Warriors and Team USA head coach Steve Kerr was asked about Curry’s hand, and said it is not something to worry too much about.

This is an encouraging update from Kerr, not only for the Warriors and their fans, but for Team USA basketball.

This news comes on the heels of another injury report, with Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant dealing with a minor calf strain that has him sidelined to begin Team USA camp. The team certainly does not want to have any more marquee players unable to go through full practices.
