Golden State Warriors superstar point guard Stephen Curry is still getting over the nerve damage in his left hand.

To recall, Curry underwent two surgeries on his hand after Phoenix Suns center Aron Baynes fell on him earlier in the season. Curry could experience the nerve issue in his surgically repaired hand up to a year. He talked about dealing with this before his return to the court against the Toronto Raptors on Thursday night:

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said sitting Curry for the season was never in consideration, adding that fans deserve to watch Curry — one of the most popular players in the world —  this year no matter Golden State’s putrid record.

Kerr added that he wants Curry to develop on-court chemistry with former No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins. He also wants younger players on the Dubs to watch how Curry conducts himself in practice on a daily basis to learn good habits.

Curry was averaging 20.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game on the season before he hurt his hand. He was shooting 40.9 percent from the field, 24.3 percent from beyond the arc and a perfect 100 percent from the free-throw line in four contests.

The Warriors are 14-48 on the season. After going to the NBA Finals five years in a now, the Dubs have the worst record in the NBA, which is why many fans don’t want Curry to play since it’s meaningless.

However, Curry loves to play ball and he hasn’t been in his element for so long. It had to be killing the two-time MVP and three-time champion to not be out there on the floor competing with his teammates. His competitive fire is what makes Curry special, and it’s why Warriors fans love him so much.

The Warriors figure to be playoff contenders next season once Curry, Klay Thompson, Wiggins and Draymond Green take the floor together.
