Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry has had to deal with knee issues this postseason. The initial injury occurred in the series vs. the Portland Trail Blazers. Curry may need surgery this offseason, on not just his knees, but his shoulders as well, reports Mark Heisler of the Los Angeles Daily News:
[Curry is] hurting … even more than he acknowledged last week while withdrawing from the U.S. Olympic team.It’s not just the ankle and the knee that he sprained, sidelining him for six games in the first two rounds.
A source says Curry consulted a orthopedist in Southern California. Steph’s MRI showed issues with both shoulders as well as his knees, some of which may require surgery this summer
Curry has been uncharacteristically inconsistent in the Finals, scoring just 11 points in game one. Through the first three games of the series, Curry averaged 16 points on 43.6% shooting from the field. Quite uncharacteristic from the reigning MVP. These injuries could explain Curry’s struggles. In game four, however, Curry was fantastic, scoring 38 points, and shooting 7-13 from three-point range.
Curry is obviously a phenomenal player, and a joy to watch. Hopefully any surgery he may undergo is successful, so that he is unhindered next season.
