The Golden State Warriors are currently 27-26 on the season, currently in seventh place in the Western Conference in the National Basketball Association.

NBA and Golden State Warrior superstar and two-time most valuable player, Stephen Curry left the game early and headed to the locker room with a noticeable limp and injury after bumping knees with Dallas Mavericks' McKinley Wright IV.
