There’s still no target date for Stephen Curry‘s return from a left leg injury, as he told reporters – including Kendra Andrews of ESPN – on Monday. The Warriors announced last week that Curry would be reevaluated after the All-Star break, but even if that assessment goes well, the former MVP won’t be ready to return to action right away.
“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.”
As Anthony Slater of The Athletic writes, the Warriors have a busy schedule out of the All-Star break, with six contests in nine days, so Curry’s missed games could add up quickly if he still needs a week or two to get up to speed after his next reevaluation.
Here are a few more injury updates from around the NBA:
- A left adductor strain has kept Nets wing Seth Curry on the shelf for the last five games, but he has been cleared to return on Wednesday vs. Miami, tweets Brian Lewis of The New York Post.
- Lakers star LeBron James has missed three straight games with foot and ankle injuries and could get an extra week of rest if he sits out the team’s last game before the All-Star break. However, head coach Darvin Ham said on Monday that “in all likelihood” James will return on Wednesday vs. New Orleans, writes Kyle Goon of The Southern California News Group.
- Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma will be back in action on Tuesday night in Portland after missing four consecutive games with a left ankle sprain, per Josh Robbins of The Athletic (Twitter link).
- Heat sharpshooter Duncan Robinson, who has been sidelined since January 2 due to finger surgery, appears to be on the verge of returning. He has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday’s game in Brooklyn, tweets Ira Winderman of The South Florida Sun Sentinel.
I got a injury update………
To all the Brunson haters. Who now have broken hopes. And shattered critique …..
Brunson has been on an absolute tear of late, averaging 29.6 points while shooting 51 percent from the field and 46 percent from 3-point range over his last 19 games. The idea he isn’t an All-Star seems sillier with each passing game. So does the offseason narrative that the Knicks overpaid for him with that $104 million contract.
“How You Like us Now”
Only “injury” here is your clearly bruised Knicks pride.
The knicks are irrelevant
Coming out of college I didn’t think Jalen Brunson would even make the league. Body type, slow and all the rest of it.
Wow has he really shown that the game is more than just physical tools and natural ability. He’s taken this to a whole new level and is definitely an all-star. How does a slow 6 ft guard go for 40? Beats me but this guy is a player and then some.
Wiz Vs Blazers will be fun
David Vs Goliath, so to speak…
Curry will be fine and warriors will still be in the hunt come playoffs. Not much to see here.
The Warriors are a very dangerous team in the playoffs. Regardless whether they end up as a 7th or 8th seed in the regular season. Playoffs is a different animal
6 games in 9 days is ridiculous, even if it’s coming after the break. Really need to trim the number of games down.
