The Golden State Warriors (11-0) are preparing for a tough matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder (20-1) on Tuesday. Unfortunately, Stephen Curry will miss his second game of the week due to a leg injury he suffered after colliding with a Rockets player.

During NBA on NBC, former NBA star Tracy McGrady expressed his hopes that the Warriors will unite as a team and prove their contender status against a dominant OKC squad.

“I got to see these guys come together collectively to see if they really can be a contender team. But tomorrow night, I want to see them against OKC because I know they’re going to be ready for that game because of, you know, what’s at stake,” McGrady said.

Moments later, he was informed live on air that Curry would not be available for the game. McGrady then couldn’t hide his disappointment.

“God damn! Never mind!” he said while throwing the paper in his hand to the ground.

Statistically, Curry remains the driving force for the Warriors this season. He was averaging 27.9 points, 4.0 assists, and 3.7 rebounds before the injury. The team managed to secure a win against the Pelicans without him. However, facing the surging Thunder without their superstar is a far tougher challenge.

ESPN’s Warriors insider Anthony Slater provided an important update regarding Curry’s recovery progress. Slater explained that Curry has been spending time in the weight room, but added that the star guard still hasn’t returned to on-court activities.

“You may not see him on the road trip; that’s still to be determined. saw him in the weight room the other night. He’s wearing a leg sleeve over that thigh contusion, he’s doing the bike, he’s doing some weight stuff, but he hasn’t been on the court. He’s kind of obsessive about keeping his body in as good a condition as possible, to get back as quickly as possible,” Slater said.

According to reports, Curry may be out of play for at least a week. But no definite timeline has been confirmed. For now, Warriors fans can only hope their franchise player heals quickly and returns to the team.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
