Curry suffered the injury on March 16 during their 110-88 loss to the Boston Celtics, when Marcus Smart dove for a lose ball and landed on the 34-year-old's leg.
The Warriors have gone 1-6 since Curry's injury and have since dropped to fourth in the Western Conference playoff picture. Despite their slide, Jordan Poole's stellar play as of late has been a bright spot for the Warriors. Nonetheless, there is no way Golden State can contend for a title without the Baby-Faced Assassin.
With Curry's 2021-22 season over, the three-time NBA champion finishes his campaign with averages of 25.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 6.3 assists. He also had the worst shooting year of his career — 43.7 percent overall and 38.0 percent from beyond the arc.
