Steph Curry isn’t too worried about his availability for Game 1 of the NBA Playoffs for the Warriors.
Before Golden State’s 110-108 loss to the San Antonio Spurs at the Chase Center on Sunday night, Curry spoke to reporters for the first time since his injury, expressing confidence he could return shortly after the initial two-week replay. evaluation period.
Curry’s personal trainer Brandon Payne joined 95.7 The Game’s “The Morning Roast” to talk about Curry’s injury and why he’s confident he’ll get well soon.
“We discussed all the different scenarios,” Payne said. “Ultimately what came out of it was that things weren’t as bad as they could have been.
“Unfortunately, we feel comfortable in this position,” Payne said. “I know it sounds ridiculous, but we have a good history and a good track record of getting through injury quickly. We know what we’re doing. For that reason, we are probably a little more positive than most people in this situation.”
Speaking to reporters before the game, Curry stated that he was not bothered by the conditioning aspect of his recovery. Payne would agree.
“Frankly, the conditioning part is the least of our worries,” Payne added. “It has never been a problem. In terms of the cardiovascular system, this guy is a freak. It’s amazing how quickly he recovers. For us, it’s just knowing that there is strength and full functionality in the injured area, in this foot.”
