A week of rest to heal his ankle and here we are again Stephen Curry on the floors. The Olympic champion resumed last night in Washington, and everything went well with a fairly quiet victory against the Wizards (125-112). In 24 minutes, the Warriors leader compiled 24 points and 6 assists. An ideal recovery with a 4th victory in a row for Steve Kerr's players.
“They've handled business pretty solidly the last three games, and I didn't want to be the weak link tonight » he explained during the pitchside interview. “We are in great shape at the moment. and we try to continue to improve. We know there's a long way to go, but I think we've really established a defensive identity, and there's this desire to move the ball on offense and create good shots. Everyone participates and it’s great to see. »
No playing time limit against the Celtics
The other good news is that the ankle is back, so it was just a small scare. “Our medical staff made sure that I was in perfect condition before returning,” Curry continues. “I feel good. It's still early in the year and we're trying to build endurance. The ankle is fine. You just don't want to find yourself in a situation where you get tired and put yourself in danger. It's a good springboard. »
Everything is going so well that Steve Kerr does not plan to spare Wednesday evening for the clash against the Celtics. “He looked like he was moving well. He looked strong, and he had a great game.” appreciated the Warriors coach. “It's hard to start and finish with a minutes restriction, but it was our solution. Assuming he feels good tomorrow, don't expect a big minutes restriction or anything like that for Boston.”
