Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry has yet to receive the long-awaited green light from the team’s medical staff.
Curry, 38, has been battling an intense runner’s knee injury since late January.
First signs of the injury occurred Jan. 24 while Curry was working out in Minneapolis. Just days later, the two-time MVP began what would go on to be a lengthy shutdown.
It sure has been a testy couple of months for him.
Here’s an ultra competitor, a four time-champion and one of the NBA’s greatest players ever. Seeing his team win just nine games over his absence has marked a dejecting point in the latter years of his career.
The entire world understands how dangerous Curry still is on the court. To him, he probably doesn’t believe he is any less of a player he was 10 years ago.
The clock is clicking on the Warriors’ season and therefore Curry’s comeback window.
Stephen Curry’s injury rehab could continue extending past no return
Amid a season of terrible injury fortune, the Warriors are seemingly hanging on by a thread.
They have the play-in tournament to bank on, but they’ll need Curry to get cleared, make his return and get at least a couple of games to shake off potential rust. All that needs to happen before mid-April. The problem is it very well may not.
