The Golden State Warriors are on course to make a deep postseason run since acquiring Jimmy Butler from the Miami Heat. His presence in the team has rejuvenated Steve Kerr’s side into one of the most difficult opponents to face in the Western Conference.
The team welcomed his presence as he is instrumental in the 16-2 run they have enjoyed so far. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that he may be the sole reason the Dubs would automatically make the postseason should they finish the season strongly.
Their last game saw them outlast the Toronto Raptors, but fans may have been slightly worried as Curry didn’t finish the game due to a pelvic contusion. Such a condition leaves plenty of question marks on Curry’s availability during the most important games of the regular season.
To clear the air on the Curry dilemma, a popular doctor addressed what Dub Nation should expect out of their star guard’s latest injury.
Doctor explains Stephen Curry’s absence from the Golden State Warriors can last from days to weeks
Fans who aren’t familiar with Curry’s injury may wonder how long the future Hall of Famer would have to sit out. Dr. Nirav Pandya, a Warriors fan, cleared the air with a diagnosis on how long the recovery would be.
“There is no defined timeline for a return to play,” Pandya explained on Twitter/X. “Assuming there is no larger structural injury, it can be as quick as a few days to sometimes as long as a few weeks. It’s about how quickly an athlete has pain relief and can perform basketball activities.”
Fans would think that Curry would be back sooner than later since he walked his injury off, but the last thing the Warriors’ medical team would want is rush the 36-year-old back into the fold and aggravate the injury.
Curry will be a massive miss for the Dubs if he sits out a for couple of weeks as his 24.2 PPG on 45%/39%/93% shooting splits can help the Warriors finish the rest of the season on the win column.
