The Golden State Warriors added Stephen Curry to their already prolonged list of injuries tonight before facing the Utah Jazz. For a team struggling to build any winning momentum, the Bay is desperate for a win tonight. However, that pursuit almost saw another major nightmare. In the third quarter, Dennis Schroder landed awkwardly after missing a layup, spreading panic along the Warriors sidelines.
Draymond Green, who is recovering from a calf strain jumped in to help. In addition, two of the trainers needed to assist the German point guard to the locker room as he hobbled into the tunnel. The fall itself felt scary to the announcers too. “The way he landed, sometimes it’s a weird fall it scares you so much, you have an awkward feeling but when you go back there you are actually okay. It was just a little frightening” they said on the broadcast.
It appeared as if Schroder twisted his ankle. The Warriors, who are still ensued in a close battle with the Jazz couldn’t afford to lose Scroder’s leadership and facilitating. Luckily, the veteran PG returned to the bench shortly after, although with bulky taping around his left ankle. Since then, he has also managed to return to the game.

The Warriors are clinging on to a nine-point lead at the end of the third quarter. With Dennis Schroder on the floor, Steve Kerr will surely feel much more secure about closing out the game and getting a much-needed win for the Warriors.
