Earlier today, a report surfaced that Stephen Curry could possibly need surgery on his shoulders this offseason. Curry laughed that rumor off at today’s press conference:

Curry: "I can't keep a straight face. Whoever said I'm getting shoulder surgery…(shakes head) Its going to be fine.

This is just a superb troll job by Curry. He also wore everybody’s favorite shoes:

Furthermore, Curry emphasized that his shoes are, indeed, fire:

So, it sounds like that report was false. However, the report also said that Curry could need surgery on his knees, which have been injured this postseason. Curry didn’t address that part of the report, but that may just be because the shoulders part was more outlandish. Curry could need surgery on his knees though; that possibility definitely shouldn’t be ruled out.
The Warriors lead the Cavs 3-1, and will look to close out the series on Monday night, a feat that will be more difficult in light of the news that Draymond Green has been suspended for the game.
