NBA 2018/19: 3 reasons behind Golden State Warriors' current struggles

#2 Injuries

Steph Curry's return will provide a huge boost to the team

It is often said that while Kevin Durant is the best Warrior, Steph Curry is the most important. The 30-year-old was performing to an MVP standard in the early games of the season, however, the point guard has missed seven matches in a row, which has coincided with the Warriors' poor form.

Newly signed All-Star, DeMarcus Cousins is also still recovering from a serious Achilles injury, whereas Draymond Green has also missed six of the last eight games. Cousins may not return until the new year, although Green and Curry will soon be back, and this should be a catalyst in the Warriors' return to form.
