Draymond Green Comments on Stephen Curry’s Injury Status
Draymond Green has shared his insights regarding Stephen Curry’s anticipated return to the Golden State Warriors following an injury.
During the recent game against the Houston Rockets, Stephen Curry suffered an injury just six minutes into the match. Following the defeat, head coach Steve Kerr expressed concerns about Curry’s condition, indicating a lack of optimism regarding his recovery.
Later, the Warriors confirmed that Curry has sustained a torn oblique, with a timeline for re-evaluation set for two weeks.
On his podcast, Draymond Green expressed skepticism about Curry’s chances of returning as soon as the two-week mark is reached. He stated, “I would say there’s probably no chance that he’s back in two weeks. The re-evaluation at that point is merely to assess where he stands.”
Green elaborated on the injury, stating, “An oblique injury is unique in that it reveals its healing progress over time. There’s no definitive timeline; healing varies based on severity and location. Some cases recover quickly, while others take longer.” He emphasized the importance of core strength and rotational capabilities in the recovery process, advising caution as they gauge progress.
Curry Likely Out Until December
Currently, it appears Curry will miss up to six games over the next two weeks, with the possibility of extending to nine games if recovery takes longer than expected. He is likely to remain sidelined until December, coinciding with the knockout rounds of the NBA Cup.
Tonight, the Warriors are set to face the Spurs in a crucial group stage matchup. Green remained hopeful about Curry’s recovery, noting, “We’ll have to see how this goes. Hopefully, it’s not an extremely severe case.” He reiterated that a clearer picture of Curry’s condition should emerge in the coming days as the healing process unfolds.
