Steph Curry has no target return date for “tricky” thigh injuries

Steph Curry has no target return date for “tricky” thigh injuries

by

Minneapolis – Steph Curry visited the Warriors in Minnesota on Thursday at Morning Shootaround. He recovered for Brandin Podziemski and helped Buddy Hield with a shooting routine. He is nearby – but probably more to raise his own mood than his team.

It is clear that Curry is still struggling with the depressing nature of his recent injury and endangered one of his finals and perhaps the best chances of a fifth NBA title. Two months after his 37th birthday, for the first time in his life, axis problem deals.

“I know how difficult thigh injuries can be,” said Curry. “You can fool you and let you believe that it is healed (if it is not) if you don't feel anything. This gray area will be confusing, I'm sure. But I will do everything in my power to come back.”

Curry works closely with Rick Celebrini, the trusted medical decision -maker of the warriors, on the rehab process. This is Curry's first soft tissue injury since a tense adductor in 2018. Celebrini told him that he has to rest the knee tendon for a week and let it heal before he tests it. At this point he cannot even take stationary recordings.

“I'm a way away,” said Curry.

The team has already excluded Curry from games 2, 3 and 4. It is clear that he has ambitions to work back in this series at some point, but game 5, the next Wednesday evening in Minnesota, seems to be a distance.

Before game 6 there is a three -day break that brings it off 11 days after the injury. Warriors trainer Steve Kerr hovered gently as a potential point to think about Curry's return. But Celebrini and Curry will make the ultimate decision, and Curry did not want to set his return to a target.

“No,” said Curry. “This is new, and from everything I learn how quickly you can return there must be a healing process. It is exactly the way the body works. You can no longer speed up the body.

Curry's willingness to risk haste and worsening the thigh injury depends on how many games his teammates can win while he heals.

The Warriors rose 1-0 in the series. If you can win at least one of the next three, you would only be confronted with play 6 from elimination. If Jimmy Butler pull something more wonderful and lead them to a possible series win without a curry, they can be more careful. But if the timber wolves overwhelm them in the next three games (two of which in San Francisco) are overwhelmed and the Warriors in game 5 are excluded, the conversation could be tense.

“Finally there will be such conversations,” said Curry. “But I'm not nearby. I'm not nearby. I don't stand up. There must be a natural healing process that happens.”

The ticking watch that stays through this situation is painful for Curry. It's not just about this specific series. It's about his career. Curry is in his 16 season. His front office made a swing-for-the fance period for Jimmy Butler, and the Warriors tore them off after the run after led from the lottery edge to the second round of the playoffs.

“If you are 27, you will feel like you are in the heyday,” said Curry. “Every opportunity I have now does not want it to be wasted because of an injury. I am grateful that it was not worse. I am aware and grateful that I even have the chance to come back. I try to stay in this frame … injuries are always emotionally difficult.

After the Warriors were enforced in the rockets of the second seeds in Houston Rockets, they looked great to open the game 1. Curry had 13 points in 13 minutes and led 30-20 when he left the game. This is part of the reason why he was in tears on Tuesday evening.

“It made it worse at the beginning because they run through the last two months of the season, the first round in the first round rushed, they survive a game 7,” said Curry. “Just as we played, as I played individually in this first half, I really felt very good about where we were. Then they will be polished so well.”
