Stephen Curry is facing an uncertain recovery timeline following a Grade 1 left hamstring strain, an injury he has never experienced before. He described the situation as a "gut punch" and stressed the need for patience during the healing process, noting the difficulty of rushing back too soon. As he sits out Games 2 and potentially 4 of the Western Conference semifinals, Curry is aiming to evaluate his progress regularly. He reported feeling good until the injury occurred suddenly during a defensive move, further complicating his return.
“This is new, and from all that I'm learning about how quickly you can get back, there has to be a healing process,” Curry said.
“You can't accelerate it more than what it's telling you. It’ll be one of those, after a week, really reevaluating every day to understand when it’s safe just to even think about playing.”
“I felt great the whole game up until that point... And then I made a little pivot move on defense and felt something.”
