Stephen Curry finally responds to his potential injury after photos of his right thumb went viral

Stephen Curry was certainly not in his A-game as the Golden State Warriors faced a crushing 131-116 defeat against the Houston Rockets at Toyota Center in Houston on Wednesday. Apparently, Curry was not fully fit to play the game as he was seen with his thumb wrapped. Additionally, photographs of his thumb were circulating online. Amid the concern, Curry finally gave his thoughts on his injury.

Stephen Curry has been playing with his right thumb wrapped and icing it after every game. A recent photo showed noticeable swelling as he boarded the team plane. When the reporters asked him about the current condition of his thumb, Curry candidly gave his thoughts.
“Cold,” Curry responded initially. When the reporter asked him about the photo of his swollen thumb circulating online, he said, “I don’t even know how to answer it. Something you are dealing with and keep it moving.”

The Golden State Warriors dropped a crucial Game 5 to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night, falling 131-116 in a game that was heated from start to finish. With Houston staving off elimination and forcing a Game 6, tempers flared late, Stephen Curry’s injured thumb and the controversy surrounding it grabbed attention, especially among the Warriors fans.
The recent photo of him boarding the team plane showed visible swelling, raising questions about how serious the injury may be. Despite the concerns, Curry has continued to suit up and perform at a high level, showing no apparent drop-off in his shooting or playmaking. Sources close to the team indicate that while the injury is being monitored, it hasn't limited his effectiveness on the court.
However, what added fuel to the fire on Wednesday night was the physical play from Houston’s Dillon Brooks, particularly around Curry. Speculation quickly emerged that Brooks was targeting the injured thumb. Post-game, Brooks responded to the accusation.

“I’ve been playing the game… If I had an injured ankle, I would attack that ankle every single time,” Brooks said candidly. “So, whatever they're saying on the broadcast, they can keep saying it.”
