Stephen Curry‘s brilliant impact on the Golden State Warriors is being made more and more clear despite him being 37-years-old.

Evidently, there is a reason the generational superstar was the face of one of the most superb dynasties while putting together an illustrious career.

In his second game back on the hardwood, the Warriors seem primed for victory once again — which follows up a two-game losing streak in his absence — proving just how important he is to the squad and their results.

Golden State leads the San Antonio Spurs 86-60 midway through the third quarter. While Curry only has 13 points on 4-of-7 shooting, his presence elevates everything on the hardwood.

Each Warrior to hit the floor has been productive, and the club knows how crucial this final stretch of the regular season is as they prepare for the playoffs.

To see the team hit their stride once again would be more than ideal, considering the team looked like a title contender in the 19 games following Jimmy Butler‘s arrival.

However, one key player suffered an injury during the game.

Warriors make unfortunate Jonathan Kuminga announcement

After just seven minutes played off the bench, Jonathan Kuminga had to exit the game for the Warriors after taking a hard fall.

Later on, the club announced the forward would miss the rest of the contest with ankle soreness.

“Jonathan Kuminga (right ankle soreness) will not return to tonight’s game,” Warriors PR announced.

Evidently, it’s less than ideal for Kuminga to be dealing with any sort of ankle injury.

It’s been tough sledding for the G League Ignite product since returning from a two-month absence with an ankle injury.

Both returning to form and fitting within the team’s system have been issues for Kuminga.
