New Orleans-The star of Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry, returned Friday night after an absence of two games due to a pelvic contusion and said that although “he will feel it for a while,” he avoided a break in the bone.
Curry had 23 points and six assists to help the Warriors take a two-game losing streak with a 111-95 victory over the New Orleans pelicans at the Smoothie King Center.
His return occurred just over a week after he took a terrifying fall in the second half of a victory over the Toronto Raptors. Fortunately for the Warriors, Curry did not suffer a line fracture of the leave in the fuck as it did when it fell hard on the stairs on the court during a game against the Houston Rockets in the 2020-21 season. That injury, which cost him five games, occurred during the season when fans did not sit near the court due to COVID-19.
“He simply reminded me of ’21 when I fell on the stairs of Houston,” Curry said. “I think that [this time it didn’t] Breaking anything or having some bone damage, it was mostly a deep and would be that I will feel it for a while. But I can play, and I can’t get worse, as long as I don’t land again. “
Curry shot 7 of 21 against the Pelicans, including 5 of 16 behind the arch. He said his time and resistance, they registered 34 minutes, they were a challenge.
But a free week at this point of the season is extremely beneficial.
“I thought he looked great,” said the Warriors coach Steve Kerr. “He was moving very well, he took care of the ball. I thought Steph played an excellent game. He probably lost his last five or six 3 3, so the numbers do not look great, but it looked like himself. And I think the week free did a lot of good.”
The warriors rested Curry against the Milwaukee Bucks on March 18 after Kerr insisted that his star was exhausted and needed a free night. Curry played just over half in the next game against Toronto before suffering the pelvic contusion.
“I felt good before,” Curry said about how rested it is after the injury. “I want to say, I know that there is all that talk with the volume or load through which I have passed, but physically, I felt good and I felt good and I had some juice every night. Mentally, I was far from the team for three days, so that was just strange, but I could fill the glass a little.
“I think it should be a good race to our last game. You have nine games, so we have to win as many as we can.”
