Stephen Curry's injury update: Golden State fans are half happy, half worried
Immediately after the 2023 NBA All-Star break, Golden State Warriors fans immediately turned their attention to Stephen Curry, waiting for an update on the defender's injury.
In the press release sent, the team's media said that Curry had started training again after a long time away from the football field. Currently, Steph is given the green light for basketball activities, shooting practice and light moves.
The medical team will closely monitor Stephen Curry's reaction and assess the level of recovery during this time, then a conclusion on the date of re-export will be determined within 1 week (expected by the end of next week). .
10 days ago, many reputable news sites said that Curry would have to take a break from playing for a while, even 2-3 weeks after the All-Star. The "chef" personally confirmed that he will not play a number of games, including the match against the Los Angeles Lakers tomorrow (Friday, February 24).
This is the second injury that has forced Stephen Curry to be out of action for a long time this season, sitting out from February 4 until now. Previously, the Golden State Warriors superstar had to miss many games in December and January because of a shoulder injury.
In total since the beginning of the season, Curry has missed 20 matches. This number will be 151 matches in the last 6 seasons because of various injuries such as wrists, ankles, knees, shoulders, etc.
Up to the All-Star break, coach Steve Kerr's teachers and students had a total record of 29-29, ranking 9th in the Western rankings. Facing this situation, the Golden State leadership fell into a state of "dilemma".
Surely they need Stephen Curry to return as soon as possible to improve their position on the rankings, hoping for a guaranteed place in the Playoffs (top 6 teams).
But at the same time, the team also does not want to risk the injury of the "chef", especially when he is showing signs of overload recently.
Over the next 7 days, Golden State will play a total of 5 games, facing opponents including the Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets, Minnesota Timberwolves, Portland Trail Blazers and LA Clippers, respectively.
