NBA Twitter Brought Back 3-1 Jokes After Curry’s March 1 Return Was Postponed
Last week, it was all set for a March 1st Stephen Curry return, but then, the Warriors ruled him out for tonight’s game against the Wizards.
The team said that while Curry continues to make good progress in his recovery from a broken left hand suffered on October 30 and remains on schedule for a return to play at some point in March, they wanted him to get some more scrimmage time in, before bringing him back to NBA hardwood.
Steve Kerr on the decision to hold off Steph Curry’s return: “He was not thrilled, but Steph is always very rational and easy to speak with. He put up a little fight, but also understood why we wanted to take extra precaution.” pic.twitter.com/8L1Vp2nHzS

NBA Twitter has its own reasoning for the delayed return of the two-time MVP. They realized that March 1st was 3/1, which is a cursed combination of numbers in Dub County. You all know why…
Blew a 3-1 return date https://t.co/ClNQWA45LT
