Stephen Curry is doing everything in his power to keep the Golden State Warriors’ heads above water.
The 11-time All-Star was out of the franchise’s lineup for several contests due to a concerning right quad contusion, but has returned in style.
Curry netted 39 points in his first game back against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night, but the Dubs still fell short in the end.
On Sunday night, the four-time NBA champion erupted for 48 points vs. The Portland Trail Blazers, but once again, Golden State came out on the losing end.
That said, the Warriors’ shortcomings as a unit shouldn’t overshadow the fact that Curry recently made basketball history that's never been done by an NBA point guard.
“Steph Curry has the most 45-point games by a point guard in NBA history,” Real Sports wrote on X/Twitter.
Even if Golden State is unable to reach its full potential this season, fans should expect more 45+ point explosions from the best shooter of all time.
Curry isn’t the type of player who can get neutralized regularly, considering he’s been tasked with assuming a bulk of the offensive responsibilities for the seven-time NBA champions.
Curry is averaging 28.5 points per game on 47.3% field goal shooting and 39.1% three-point shooting with Golden State this year. Simply put, the electric 6-foot-2 point guard’s history-making ways won’t stop here.
