How long will Stephen Curry be out?
The day after the injury, The Athletic's Shams Charania reported that Curry would be out indefinitely after being diagnosed with a sprained ligament in his left foot.
Charania also noted X-rays on Curry's foot came back negative, meaning he had not suffered a fracture. Curry then provided his own update on his situation.
"That two-week (timeline) was a marker to know how it's healing. ... You don't want to rush the beginning phases of the healing because that's where you make the most progress," Curry told the media.
When asked if he would be ready for Game 1 of the NBA Playoffs, Curry stated, "I think I have enough time for that. I'm an optimist, though."
On April 1, the Warriors announced that Curry is "making good progress" and the team will provide another update on April 11.
On April 12, the Warriors said Curry "continues to make good progress" and that he "started various individual on-court activities (shooting, running) last week and may return to full team practices at some point this week."
The release continued, "His eventual return to game action – and the possibility of playing this weekend – is undetermined and will be based on his continued progress."
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski added, "it remains a "close call" on Curry's availability for Game 1.
The Warriors will take on the Denver Nuggets on Saturday, April 16 for Game 1, giving Curry a few more days to get ready for the start of the playoffs.
