Despite their up-and-down campaign, Stephen Curry remains adamant that if the Golden State Warriors qualify for the playoffs, it will be a tough fight for anyone.
warriors want to capture the fort Curry still out with knee injury. Although his MRI revealed no structural damage, the two-time MVP will remain out and will be reevaluated in 10 days, according to the Warriors.
The Warriors remain in eighth place in the team standings with a 29-27 record after losing to the Boston Celtics on Thursday.
Jimmy Butler is out for the rest of the season with a knee injury, while Kristaps Porzingis is still trying to adjust to the team after being acquired from the Atlanta Hawks at the trade deadline.
However, the 37-year-old Curry has full confidence in the Warriors.
"It's been a unique year, but as long as we can find our way into a playoff series, we think we're going to be tough for anybody at the top of the West," Curry said in an interview with ESPN.
“With Porzingis here, hopefully, he's healthy and able to be out there consistently because we know what he's capable of.”

The 30-year-old Porzingis made his debut for the Warriors against the Celtics and scored 12 points on 5-of-9 shooting in 17 minutes off the bench.
The oft-injured star, who is recovering from a long illness, could be the interior threat Golden State has been waiting for. He has also proven to be a reliable rim protector.
The Warriors still have a chance to avoid the play-in tournament, but they need added urgency to get more wins even without Curry.
