After Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors broke his hand in a loss to the Phoenix Suns, the outpouring of affection for Curry began.
As a two-time MVP and the greatest shooter in NBA history, the loss of Curry is surely a big one for the Warriors and the league at large.
Curry’s father, Dell, who played in the NBA during the 1980s, 90s and 2000s, spoke to Marc Spears of ESPN about what his son’s rehab will be like. Curry was forthright with Spears:
“Anytime you have a major surgery like that, even with a hand, he's doing the best he can,” said Dell Curry, now a television color commentator for the Charlotte Hornets. “It was a tough, tough injury, but he's doing the best he can. Three to four months, not sure when he is going to come back. Has to take his time and come back with it. …
“He's been through injuries before with the ankle. He understands the rehab that it takes to get through it. He knows about injuries and what goes through that. He's got to be patient and make sure he is fully healthy before he comes back.”
Clearly, the Warriors are being very careful about Curry, especially seeing as he suffered through meaningful injuries in the early goings of his career before rounding into his MVP form in the mid-2010s.
Dell Curry, who played 16 seasons with the Utah Jazz, Cleveland Cavaliers, Charlotte Hornets, Milwaukee Bucks and Toronto Raptors, knows a thing or two about playing in the NBA, so his sage advice will surely aid Steph on his road to recovery.
