On May 6, Stephen Curry made NBA fans recall the 2016 postseason nightmare when he had broken his foot in the opening game itself. The Golden State Warriors were going head-to-head against Ant’s Timberwolves. The game was fine, and everything was going well for Steph until he felt a hamstring strain in the second quarter. He called out to the medical staff and walked off the court. After he walked out of the game, everyone was shocked and expected a comeback.
But it was reported that there was an injury and he may miss one game. After reporters asked Shaquille O’Neal, he said something interesting. Shaq said, “Older. Maybe he’s starting to break down. He moves a lot for a 36- or 37-year-old. This could be crucial. Now, if I’m going to stay, I definitely want to get this game for him. Rest him game two, give him a couple more days rest, possibly bring game three.” Let’s see if the franchise takes the same decision.

Meanwhile, Nate Duncan revealed, “Have to imagine there will be at least one missed game for Curry and probably more. The rule of thumb for me is at least a week, and probably 2 if a guy has to leave with a muscle injury. Looks to be a lower grade since he could still move pretty well.”
Stay tuned, this is a developing story!
