Warriors made Steph Curry injury history for the first time in his NBA career originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here. The Golden State Warriors have now played 246 games without Stephen Curry since he entered the league in 2009.

Star Steph Curry has been out the last three games, and other players have had to step up in his place. Jimmy Butler has been one of them, leading the team in scoring with 21 points in Sunday’s win over the Indiana Pacers. Butler has brought a spark to the Warriors not only on the court. He’s also brought his personality that is one of a kind.

The Golden State Warriors didn’t just add another All-Star when they brought in Jimmy Butler from Miami midway through last season. They added a personality. Butler has slipped into the Warriors’ rotation like he’s been there all along.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry is currently spending some time on the bench due to illness. The 37-year-old has missed three straight games as he seems to be taking his time to return to the hardwood.

One of the biggest problems with the NBA in the modern era is that even if the superstars can't play with each other anymore, they're still all friends.

Curry’s best scoring performance in the 2020-21 season happened on Jan. 3, 2021, when he scored 62 points (18-31 FG, 8-16 3Pt, 18-19 FT) in a 137-122 win over the Portland Trail Blazers. Curry also added five rebounds and four assists in that game, and that was one of three games in which Curry finished with over 50 points.

The Pacers added leading scorers Pascal Siakam and Aaron Nesmith to the injury report Sunday and couldn't compete with the Stephen Curry-less Warriors
