Steph Curry was one of the names on the injury list as the Golden State Warriors travelled to Minneapolis on Sunday. Although he was listed as questionable, the guard still started the game as the Warriors earned an impressive 111-85 win.
But the happiness that basketball fans felt seeing him on the floor quickly dampened after the game, as the NBA star offered a bleak response when asked about his availability for Monday’s matchup.
“If everything goes well, yeah,” Curry told reporters. “With the recovery and all that between tonight, the minutes weren’t crazy, so hopefully I respond well.”
The 12-time All-Star further explained the nature of his injury, casting a doubt over a potential involvement in tonight’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
“It (the injury) kind of flared up yesterday when we came over to get a workout in,” Curr continued. “It was super weird. I’ve had stuff going on, quads and whatnot, but it was something that I hadn’t felt before.
“So I definitely took advantage of the day off to get right. But hopefully that continues.”
