At training this Thursday, Stephen Curry even spoke to reporters to give some news. He confirmed that everything is new for him, so the Warriors will probably have to manage without him for the time being.
Heavily injured in Game 1 against the Timberwolves, Stephen Curry is suffering from a hamstring injury. Had it been his ankle, the point guard could have quickly given a return date without even asking the doctors’ advice. But it’s all new to him, so no one knows when he’ll be able to return at the moment. So it’s quite worrying.
There is a possibility that Curry may not return in the second round of the playoffs, depending on his pain. Every day will be important for him, but let’s not forget that the franchise has confirmed that he will be re-evaluated in exactly one week’s time to take stock. As much as to say that Steve Kerr must look for other solutions in the immediate future.
Steph Curry will take his time
In front of the media, here’s what the Chef reveals:
Stephen Curry : “This is new, and from all that I’m learning about how quickly you can get back, there has to be a healing process. You can’t accelerate it more than what it’s telling you. So it’ll be one of those, after a week, really reevaluating every day to understand when it’s safe just to even think about playing, let alone how much can you push it.”
For the moment, Curry’s comeback is in jeopardy, as he is far from being able to hope to return to the game. He’ll take stock of the situation in a week’s time, and will check with the medical staff from then on. But just to be clear, this doesn’t mean that the Chief will be back on the floor in 7 days, no. The doctors will decide. It’s up to the doctors to decide, depending on how things progress.
Curry : “There will eventually be conversations like that. I’m not even anywhere close to that right now, so I’m not rushing it because there has to be a natural healing process that happens and the body will tell you even if you’re able to do normal basketball movements, pain-free and all that stuff.”
This is also the trap with this type of injury. Even in the absence of pain, relapse is largely possible, which means the Warriors can’t move too fast. Otherwise, the franchise could lose everything.
