The Golden State Warriors goalkeeper Stephen Curry has no calendar to return from the strain of the left ischo-legs of the grade 1 which he suffered in match 1 of the semi-final series of the West Conference against the Timberwolves of Minnesota.
“No, this is new, and from all that I learn about the speed with which you can return, there must be a healing process,” Curry told journalists on a potential return date on Thursday. “This is how the body works and you cannot accelerate it more than it tells you.
“… After a week, we will reassess it every day to understand just to think about playing, and even less how much you can push it.”
The quadruple NBA champion also applied the brakes with regard to the temptation to rush into action.
“Finally, there will be conversations like that. But I’m not close to that,” said Curry. “I know how delicate the hamstrings can be. They can be wrong to think that they are healed even if you don’t feel anything.”
An absence of a week would have put the curry touch until Wednesday for match 5 in Minneapolis, if necessary. Match 6, if necessary, would be played on May 18 in San Francisco.
Curry was injured when he scored on a mid-range float during the second quarter of the Warriors 99-88 victory against the Timberwolves in match 1 Tuesday in Minneapolis. The double MVP NBA and 11 times All-Star quickly reached his left leg and reported to the bench that he needed to get out of the game.
Curry had scored 13 points in 13 minutes when he left the match. He pulled 5-en-9 on the ground and 3-en-6 beyond the arc.
Curry, 37, raised an average of 24.0 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.7 assists to help the Warriors eliminate Houston’s Rockets in a series of seven games in the first round.
