Quinten Post's bombshell triggers NBA debate over Stephen Curry's injury fallout
Quinten Post's bombshell triggers NBA debate over Stephen Curry's injury fallout (Image Source: Getty Images) A key voice from the Golden State Warriors is speaking out after their tough playoff exit. But he's not breaking down plays or stats, he's focused on something much bigger. He's talking about the man at the center - Stephen Curry. His recent injury in Game 3 had ripple effects no one expected. One teammate's comment has got fans thinking: was Curry really the difference maker that could have flipped the result? The answer might be closer than it seems. Quinten Post points to Stephen Curry's absence as turning point On June 27, Warriors forward Quinten Post shared his thoughts on X, reflecting on the Golden State Warriors playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He said, 'I think within the organization, there's a belief we would've won that series if Steph [Curry] stayed healthy. I mean, you can't deny his impact... He just has so much gravity.' Post emphasized Curry's game-changing presence. He noted that Stephen Curry doesn't just score, his movement, gravity, and chemistry with teammates pull defenses apart. Post insisted that without Curry's injury in Game 3, when Stephen Curry bruised his knee, the whole dynamic of the series would've stayed in Golden State Warriors' favor. Fans and media have taken note of his bold claim. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Here's The Price for a 1-Day Walk-in Shower In 2025 Homebuddy Learn More Undo Who is Quinten Post and why he's speaking up Quinten Post, 25, joined the Golden State Warriors earlier this season. He's worked alongside Curry during practice, games, and wear-and-tear routines. Since Curry's injury, Post has watched the team struggle - defenses collapsed without the constant threat Curry provides. Post knows firsthand how much defense shifts chasing Steph open up shots for everyone else. Post's comment picked up weight because Stephen Curry is a two-time MVP, a seven-time All-Star, and widely considered the franchise's heart. Curry missed Games 4 to 6 in that playoff round, and the Golden State Warriors lost 4–2 to the Minnesota Timberwolves. With Curry healthy, the team was up 2–1. Quinten Post pointed to that turning point as proof that Curry's presence was more than a boost; it was critical!

Quinten Post Gets Candid About Warriors Role After Pelicans Win
Quinten Post was not supposed to be a rotational player on a team with title aspirations, and he certainly was not supposed to be one of the better shooters on the Golden State Warriors. After being selected 52nd overall in the 2024 NBA Draft, Post spent most of the season in the G League and was expected to be an end-of-bench guy at best. However, he is shooting 42.9 percent from deep and averaging 8.7 points per game this season for the Warriors. While he was an excellent shooter in college, he didn't expect to find the same kind of success in the NBA.

He never attempted that many shots from deep in his four NCAA seasons, although it's becoming almost expected. Advertisement At an even seven feet tall, Post was expected to play a more traditional center role off the bench in the NBA. "I've never shot at this value, at full volume, at Boston College," confessed Post on Friday. "I was way more like a usage player where I was in the action, facilitating, and scoring inside. So I didn't really know that this was going to be my role, like 7-foot spotter or shooter or something like that, you know? But yeah, I noticed this is where right now I'm having a lot of success. Like I said earlier, I feel like I'm doing the team a disservice when I'm not being aggressive with my shot."
