Stephen Curry has missed the last 18 games for the Golden State Warriors as persistent knee problems have plagued him and kept him out of action. As a result, the Warriors have fallen in the West standings, as their 33–35 record leaves them in ninth place – just a half-game ahead of the Portland Trail Blazers, who are in 10th.
At the moment, the Warriors are far from the title contention picture, as Jimmy Butler's season-ending injury has completely derailed their title hopes. Some are wondering why the Warriors are even making the effort, especially when Curry is apparently dealing with a serious injury.
Still, head coach Steve Kerr isn't going down without a fight, because even though the Warriors don't have the looks of a championship-caliber team, they're going to work hard to achieve that ultimate goal of theirs – and that includes finally getting Curry back from injury.
"When people ask me about this year, and I've been asked many times, why don't you rest Steph all year? OK, he's healthy, we're competing, that's what we do. And we want to give ourselves a chance and that's the whole point. The beauty is in the finding, in the work. And when you fail, it's hard to recover from that," Kerr said in an appearance on the Tom Tolbert Show.

the warriors are marching out
The Warriors' dynasty is reaching its end, as Curry, already 38 years old, has been struggling with knee problems, undoubtedly caused by all the wear and tear he received from all the racing he has done. They don't have the kind of star that Curry can pass the baton to.
Still, the Warriors have a lot of pride and Kerr has built a winning culture, so there's no way they're going to give up.
