Stephen Curry frightens Warriors fans: "I'm not going to.."
Very complicated moment for the Golden State Warriors in the series against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to their star player's injury
Golden State Warriors lost yesterday in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Prior to that, Stephen Curry expressed uncertainty about the time he will need to recover from his grade 1 left hamstring strain, as it is the first time he has suffered an injury of this kind:
"This is new to me, and from what I'm learning, there is a healing process that cannot be rushed. After a week, we will start reassessing day by day when it will be safe to even consider returning to play."
He described the situation as a "gut punch" and explained that he cannot rush his return:
"Hamstring injuries are tricky. They can deceive you into thinking you're fine. That's why I can't come back until I'm completely ready and without risk."
He is still far from being able to shoot without moving:
"That's still a ways off. Right now, the rehabilitation process is intense."
Regarding how the injury occurred:
"I was feeling great until that moment. I made a defensive rotation and felt something. I thought I could keep going, but I knew it could get worse if I continued playing."
Curry appreciated his team's victory without him and remained optimistic:
"We have confidence that we can win the series. If the guys can keep us alive, maybe we can have another series later on, and I can return when it's safe."
He also discussed the emotional aspect:
"It's emotionally tougher now that I'm older. I don't know how many more opportunities we'll have for a deep playoff run. That's why when Jimmy Butler arrived, I told Draymond [Green], 'This is our last journey together'."
Finally, he made it clear that he won't jeopardize his body prematurely:
"I'm not at a point yet where I have to resist the temptation to come back early. I don't want to set dates. All I know is I want to feel better every day."
