“That’s tough,” coach Steve Kerr said. “I feel so bad for Chris. I know he’s had a couple of hand surgeries before, I believe, maybe on the other hand. I saw him holding it and instantly was worried. Just got the word after walking off the floor. So I feel terrible for Chris, and obviously, guys will step up and be ready to play. We’ve got to hold down the fort without him.” A 19-year veteran, Paul has a long history of injuries, 11 of which were hand injuries — five to his left and six to his right. He has had four surgeries on his hand or wrist, most recently on his left wrist after his 2021 NBA Finals appearance with the Phoenix Suns. “I just feel bad for him. I know he’s been through some hand stuff in his career,” Stephen Curry said. “We are trying to find a groove as a team … and he’s been such a huge part of that.” -via ESPN / January 6, 2024
