‘No chance’… Draymond Green gives his own take on Stephen Curry’s injury timeline for Warriors

Head coach Steve Kerr said he was not optimistic about the injury, speaking after the game, before the Warriors provided an official update, hours later.

The Warriors stated that Curry is out with a torn oblique, and he will be re-evaluated in two weeks time.

Speaking on his podcast, teammate Draymond Green says there is ‘no chance’ Curry will be ready to return once that two-week period is up.

He said: “I would say there’s probably no chance that he’s back in two weeks. You’re kind of just re-evaluating in two weeks and seeing where you are.

“An oblique injury is one of those things that tells you when it’s healed. There’s no set timeline, some of them heal faster than others depending on the severity, depending on where it is. Some heal faster, some take longer, so there’s no certainty.

“Then you get to the point where you need your core strength, you need your rotational strength—you need all of those things. So as you progress, as the pain starts to subside, you start to push the boundaries more and more, but no one knows how long that’ll take.

“I think after a few days, you start to get a better picture of what you’re looking at.”

Curry will likely be out until December

Stephen Curry stands to miss six games over the next two weeks. This extends to nine games, if it takes three weeks.

In all likelihood, Curry is out until December, when the knockout rounds of the NBA Cup are played. The Warriors face the Spurs in a group stage matchup tonight.

Green added: “We’ll have to see how this goes. Hopefully, it’s a more moderate one, if you will, rather than being extremely severe.

“Like I said, over the next few days, those things start to declare themselves,so we’ll have to wait that one out and see.”
