Elsa/Getty Images(OAKLAND, Calif.) — Despite an injury and having to sit out for the NBA playoffs, Stephen Curry is remaining optimistic.
On Friday, the Golden State Warriors star guard said he was “feeling better” since he sprained his MCL, and hoped he could be back on the court before the targeted May 9 return date.
“Feeling better but just got a ways to go,” Curry said according to ESPN. “… I always have an optimistic view, no matter what it is. I hope to get back sooner. I haven’t talked to the doctors, athletic training staff, all the experts. That two-week timeline was, as [Warriors general manager Bob Myers] says, an educated guess.”
Curry slipped on a wet spot during the team’s Sunday Game 4 victory against the Houston Rockets. He fell on his knee while guarding Houston’s Trevor Ariza at the buzzer of the first half. The reigning MVP had previously sat out for Game 2 and 3 after he suffered a sprained ankle in the third quarter of Game 1.
“That could have been 10 times worse,” Curry said according to ESPN. “It was just simply a wet spot that put me in a very vulnerable position.”
