“It didn’t shock me, we saw some of this last year.” That was coach Steve Kerr discussing Quinn Cook’s big game. And Kerr was right (as usual), we have seen this before.
Steph Curry’s injuries have a weird relationship with Quinn Cook’s career. If you’ll recall, it was Curry’s knee injury (caused by a Javale McGee tumble) that opened the door for Quinn Cook last season. So it was somewhat fitting then, that after getting three DNPs (Did Not Play) out of a possible 12 games Cook’s first real chance to play a significant role came after a Curry injury.
