Stephen Curry, on his constant knee problems: "It's the new normalcy"

Golden State Warriors' guard, Stephen Curry, acknowledged that dealing with knee discomfort will be a regular part of his career from now on, on the verge of his return to the court after a long absence.

Curry, who has missed 27 games due to an injury he himself described as "unpredictable," admitted his frustration with the progression of the issue. "I thought I would be out for a week, ten days at most. But every time I tried to push through during that first month, there was always a reaction," he explained, making it clear that the recovery did not follow the expected timeline.

Unlike other injuries, the guard emphasized that this time the process was especially complicated due to the lack of certainties. There was no specific return date, which made it difficult to adjust the workload and measure real progress.

Nevertheless, Curry recently completed a five-on-five training session and received medical clearance to return against the Houston Rockets, a key step in his preparation for the crucial stretch of the season.

At 38 years old, the player accepted that these kinds of discomfort will be part of his daily competitive routine. "There's no structural issue in the knee, so it's not like I'm at a disadvantage. But it's the new normal," he pointed out.

Golden State's leader hinted that he will need to carefully manage his physical condition going forward, adapting to changing sensations in the knee.

The Goal: Competing until the End

Beyond the physical aspect, Curry maintains his competitive ambition intact. With the Warriors fighting for their spot in the 'play-in', the guard was clear about his immediate expectations: "Hopefully, we win both play-in games. Then we'll talk."

His return represents a key boost for a team that needs its star at full strength to aim to extend the season.
