Golden State Warriors talisman Stephen Curry has confirmed that there is no target date for his return from the left leg injury. Curry revealed he will return to the court after the All-Star break and then they will see how things go forward.
Curry suffered the injury when his knee collided with Dallas Mavericks point guard McKinley Wright IV’s earlier this month. In fact, Curry had suffered a shoulder injury in December.
“Ligaments can heal in all different types of timelines,” Curry said. “So there’s a window for each checkpoint. After the All-Star break, I will hopefully get back on the court, and then depending on how things go from there, we can key in on a specific date to get back.”
The linchpin added that the idea is to heal completely and be active in non-Basketball training sessions.
“It’s a slow process early, letting everything settle, let the healing process start,” he said. “The goal right now is just trying to let it heal while you maintain as much of your strength and conditioning. Keeping everything as active as possible around the injury.”
GSW are currently 1-2 without Curry during the latest injury stretch and they were 5-6 without him in December. The Dubs currently have a 29-28 record in the ongoing season.
“It’s just about trying to figure out how to win the next game,” Curry said. “It sounds boring, but it’s all we can really focus on … guys battling every single night trying to build momentum, find a little separation in the standings, find more of an identity of who we are as a team this year, all of those things are floating around.
“[I’m] very optimistic that we can finish these last two games strong and get the All-Star break. Get refreshed mentally and physically.”
GSW will face LA Clippers on Tuesday night.
