SAN FRANCISCO — This season’s inflection point occurred in the fourth game, when Suns center Aron Baynes fell onto Stephen Curry, breaking the two-time MVPs left hand and turning a season with faint playoff hopes into a rebuilding one. Soon, the Warriors (12-43) will get Curry back after a four-month absence.
Everything in between Curry’s injury and his return has been a mixed bag of experimentation, patience and frustration. The team Curry left at the end of October won’t be the same one he rejoins at the beginning of March.
Error 0:
Though the Warriors will welcome Curry back, anything outside a bottom-five finish remains a long-shot.
