Stephen Curry has been taking a beating this postseason.
After missing most of the first round and the beginning of the Western Conference Semifinals with a sprained knee, Curry acquired a severely swollen elbow after flying into the stands for a loose ball in Game 2 against the Thunder. As you can see above, it doesn't look pretty.
However, in the immediate aftermath, Curry seemed amused by the new protrusion on his arm. There really hasn't been much concern about his status for Game 3; Curry is expected to play.
“People aren't walking around here right now worried about it, so that's a positive thing,” Warriors general manager Bob Myers said, via 95.7 The Game.
Despite the sheer size of the swelling on Curry's shooting arm (it looks like a freaking baseball), his range of motion hasn't been limited.
The idea of draining Curry's elbow was brought up to Myers, who doesn't believe it's necessary for the time being.
“I just saw him today a little while ago, and it didn't seem like anything crazy,” Myers said. “I suppose that's possible if it keeps gathering fluid in there, but it didn't seem like a major issue to anybody.”
The two-time MVP has been on a tear as of late, averaging 30.8 points, 7.3 assists, and a healthy 6.5 rebounds over the course of Golden State's last four games. Sore elbow or not, Steph's on a mission.
