"Warriors guard Seth Curry, the younger brother of superstar Steph Curry, will be out for at least the next two weeks with an injury both Golden State and the larger NBA world are quickly becoming well-acquainted with. The team announced on Sunday morning that Curry, 35, underwent an MRI and was diagnosed with left sciatic nerve irritation. The Warriors added that Curry will be reevaluated in two weeks."
"Curry is the latest player to be diagnosed with sciatica. Warriors teammate Al Horford missed seven games in a row with right sciatic nerve irritation, and Lakers superstar LeBron James was held out of the first month of the season with the same injury. Curry led the league in 3-point percentage (45.6%) in 68 games for his hometown Charlotte Hornets last season, and has knocked down 43.3% of his long-range shots over the course of his 11-year career."
"He wowed in his Warriors debut on Dec. 1 against the defending NBA champion Thunder, making 6 of 7 shots and scoring 14 points in 17 minutes after having not played a single minute of preseason basketball. The Warriors had brought Curry in for training camp, but because of the salary cap, they were unable to sign him to the regular season roster until enough time had passed and his pro-rated salary did not push the Warriors above the restrictive second apron."
Seth Curry underwent an MRI and was diagnosed with left sciatic nerve irritation and will be reevaluated in two weeks. He joins Al Horford and LeBron James among players sidelined by sciatica. Curry led the NBA in 3-point percentage (45.6%) last season with Charlotte and has a career 3-point mark of 43.3% over 11 years. He scored 14 points in 17 minutes in his Warriors debut, making 6 of 7 shots. Salary-cap rules delayed his roster signing after training camp. Curry went 0 of 2 in Philadelphia and then missed eight games while listed inactive. The Warriors have depth at shooting guard with Moses Moody starting and contributions from Brandin Podziemski, Will Richard and De'Anthony Melton.
