As for Curry, his team has a slight outside chance to still make the play-in. Only needing to surpass the Los Angeles Clippers, but they will need to contend with and beat such teams as the Celtics, Spurs, Rockets, Cavaliers, Nuggets and Pistons to make it happen. But if Curry is healthy, no one should ever underestimate number thirty.

However, to get back has been a long road. Stephen has been dealing with “runner’s knee” due to patella-femoral pain syndrome/bone bruising in his right knee, and hasn’t played since Jan. 30. Missing 18 straight games so far. Nevertheless, head coach Steve Kerr says, “He’s trending in the right direction. It’s been a tricky injury. But I think he’ll be back, for sure.”

When asked about fans saying he should sit out the rest of the season, the four time champion remarked,

“That’s not who we are. If we have stuff to play for, we play. So, I’m working to get back… I know we’re depleted, but the idea of my injury is just getting information by the day of, ‘Can I play safely? Be myself out there and not put myself in danger short term or long term?’ And then we still have stuff to play for. We’d love to see guys in a playoff series and take a swing. Hopefully see this team that’s currently constructed healthy for a stretch to learn as much as we can and compete. That’s who we are.”

When asked if he believes he will still play this season with so few games left. Curry responded, “That I’ll play? For sure.”
