Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry discussed his frustration in dealing with an unpredictable knee injury ahead of his expected return on Sunday against the Houston Rockets. Curry has missed 27 games with runner's knee. I thought I was going to be out a week, Curry said. Ten days max. [But] every time I got on the court or tried to push it in that first month, there was always a reaction.
You just knew it wasn't healing as fast as you thought. Curry, who completed a 5-on-5 scrimmage, was cleared by the medical staff to play on Sunday. The 38-year-old stated that managing the knee would be a new normal as he continues his career. Yes and no, Curry said. There's nothing structurally wrong with my knee. So it's not like I'm compromised out there. It is a new normal, though, if that makes sense. Curry added that dealing with the knee was different from previous injuries because there was no set timetable. Hopefully win two play-in games, Curry said about his expectations for the rest of the season. Then we can have another conversation.
