In the midst of the Golden State Warriors’ challenging season, ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins has ignited a debate, suggesting that it might be time for superstar Stephen Curry to part ways with the team. The Warriors, with a record of 10-13, faced their sixth consecutive loss against the Phoenix Suns, further dimming their championship prospects.
The recent suspension of Draymond Green, following his ejection in the game against the Suns, has exacerbated the team’s woes. Green’s on-court behavior has raised concerns, leading to speculation about potential disciplinary action from the NBA.
Perkins, taking to social media, posted a viral statement calling for the liberation of Steph Curry. “Free Steph Curry!!! He don’t deserve this. Real Talk,” Perkins wrote, echoing the sentiments of fans and analysts who share concerns about the team’s current direction.
Despite Curry’s outstanding performances this season, including a notable game against the New Orleans Pelicans where he scored 42 points, the Warriors have struggled to secure victories. In their recent clash with the Suns, Curry led the team with 24 points, but they fell short by just three points.
As the Warriors brace for a challenging five-game stretch, facing formidable opponents like the Los Angeles Clippers, Brooklyn Nets, Portland Trail Blazers, Boston Celtics, and Washington Wizards, the future for the team remains uncertain. Perkins’ call to “Free Steph Curry” has sparked discussions about the impact of Green’s suspension and the potential need for a change in the Warriors’ dynamic.
