Let’s hope he’s not out too long 🙏🏼

Some doctor please tell me this means nothing bad and it will all be okay!?!!?!
I’m not alarmist by nature, but …
He could be out for 4-6 weeks.
He’s been carrying this team for a long time. Man needs help.
On average how long is recovery?
Dude runs more than anyone else in the league. Sounds like he’s still gonna play, but he’s probably going to be quite limited in practices.
When dude runs that much every game
Runners knee felt like a bruise thats being pushed into 24/7 everytime my knee moves. Behind my knee cap
I could tell by the spot he was hitting with the theragun… I’ve had that exact thing. It’s manageable but it fucking sucks.
Welp he probably should rest for at least a week.
Running so much that his knee hurt and his teammates still couldn’t hit an open shot. Smh
Try to run while someone is hugging you and this will happen.
Atleast a week, then further evaluation
U cannot go this season without trade. Knowing curry he’s just gonna play through injuries. The workload on a 38 year old is crazy
Hot Take:
Steph is fine or technically he has that injury but feels ok and will be back soon. This is a play to make our 26 FRP look more valuable in a Giannis trade.
That must be encouraging for Giannis
I’ve had that, very painful for 1-2 weeks
I got patellofemoral pain in 2021 and have never bounced all the way back. Obviously I’m not in incredible shape or devoted full time to athletic training like Steph, but it sucks.
There are 5 games before all star break if necessary, he could rest those games and come back fresh after the all star break
this season is done, tank pls. Give the keys to podz
Damn it might really be over.
There’s not much of a point in tanking, as it’s all about this season and next. The slate is clear after that. The 28-29 W’s are going to suck regardless. So…Gianni’s?
Warriors: “Steph is injured”
Giannis: “Next in line!”
8 weeks minimum
That sucks and we know he wont play. Kerr is extremely cautious. Basically too cautious. If curry have a splint in his thumb, he’d sit him out. Lets not forget that just because kerr doesnt agree with the nbas amount of games per year and b2bs that he doesnt even play his best guys im the second set in b2b which we always lose. Idc how much negative feedback i miight get because every game counts. And those automatic losses before theyre even played could be the diff between a top 6 seed and a play in.
Not to mention the last time curry averaged at least 35 mpg during a season was the year before kerr came. Kerrs first year curry was 26 years old and his mins dropped to 32.8 from over 36. Lets not forget lebron has played more than 500 games more than curry and has played a league record 292 playoff games and the last time he averaged 35… yup last season at age 40. And he still plays b2b and hes played more mins than anyone ever. Durant js the same age as curry and hes averaging 37 mog this season on a better team where he doesnt really need to play as many mins. Has curry top 37 mins once all year?
This is what happens when the league refuses to do anything about off ball fouling that goes on the entire game. Fucking POS NBA
good bye my beautiful prince
Rest my king
Take my knees.
Nah let him sit out! Don’t want to risk it
father time era giannis also has nagging injuries. trading for young scorers may be a reasonable alternative instead if going all in on another old superstar like giannis
applies to jimmy too if there are takers.
I had this. This shit sucks. Anytime you try to push up, you feel it under your kneecap. It’s a small tendon I think, or muscle. Shits painful to do anything. Had to stop snowboarding and running from about 6 to 8 weeks for it to completely go away and ice it every day after use
PFPS can be something that goes away within minutes to being a chronic issue. The MRI just tells us what it possibly is but doesn’t necessarily dictate the recovery timeline. All up to tolerance at this point. Although I’m nowhere near experienced compared the the dubs staff so they probably have a better estimate.
What being guarded by Ausar does to a mf
Crazy to read this and see not one person in the comments pointed the fact this is do to the system Warriors run. Dude runs like 15miles a game due to the offense. It’s only been by luck that Steph did not end up like Derrick Rose as just like Thebs Kerr’s system runs Curry into the dirt hence why no other team has tried to mimic Curry’s play style. Not talking about the 3pt shooting but Curry constant running around and screening for the offense to work(edited)
All that running catching up with him
Fuck! He’ll be out for a few weeks.
O he’s missing All star I guess?
Cmon man im flying march 12 to watch this guy hope he is not out of season or something
