Stephen Curry asks for patience after the extraordinary start of the Warriors season: "We have a long way to go"

Stephen Curry returned to play just over a week after his injury in the game against Los Angeles Clippers. The reality is that the Golden State Warriors have done quite well without him, winning 3 of their last 3 games. Now they face a tough stretch, starting at the TD Garden against the Boston Celtics. Steve Kerr, the team's coach, spoke about the physical condition of his star.

"It probably depends on how he feels tomorrow," Kerr told reporters at the Capital One Arena after the Warriors won 125-112 against the Wizards. "There were no issues tonight. He went through everything smoothly. Assuming he feels good tomorrow, I don't anticipate a significant restriction on minutes or anything like that for the game in Boston."

Also speaking at length was Curry himself, who had words about the Warriors' impressive start to the season, his physical condition, and also about Jordan Poole, whom he was reuniting with after having been teammates for 4 years.

Curry's words

"They've been holding it down the last three games pretty solid, so I didn't want to be the weak link tonight and tried to go out and do my part," Curry said on Warriors Postgame Live on NBC Sports Bay Area. "We're in a good rhythm right now. We're trying to keep getting better."

"We know we have a long way to go. But I think we've really established a defensive identity, how we want to move the ball on offense, and create good shots. Everyone is contributing, and it's great to see."

"Our medical team makes sure I'm 'bulletproof' before returning," Curry commented. "I feel good. It's still early in the year, and you're trying to build endurance. The ankle is fine. You just don't want to put yourself in a position to fatigue and put yourself at risk. This is a good step forward."

"I feel good," affirmed the Warriors' number 30. "Our medical team, Rick Celebrini [director of sports medicine and performance], and everyone make sure I'm bulletproof before returning, and obviously, just a slight minutes restriction to make sure."

"But it's good to be back with my teammates. As you said, they've been holding it down the last three games pretty solid. I didn't want to be the weak link tonight and tried to do my part, but we're in a good rhythm now."

"We're trying to keep improving," Curry stated. "We know we have a long way to go with three tough games coming up. But I think we've really established a defensive identity, how we're trying to move the ball on offense and create good shots, Buddy Hield is playing amazing, Draymond [Green] scoring. So everyone is contributing, and it's great to see."

"It's always great to see teammates, good friends," confessed Curry to Festus Ezeli, Chris Mullin, and Bonta Hill on Warriors Postgame Live after the victory. "I'm supporting [Poole] to try to take advantage of this opportunity in the organization [Wizards] and this chance he has here to lead. He's playing much better than last year, finding his comfort, so I'm excited for him."

"I mean, it's just his fifth year? The sky's the limit for him. I know they have a lot of young guys, and you can see he plays with joy, style, the same old JP we know. Just happy we got the win and bragging rights this time."
