Stephen Curry admits pain in knees new, but ‘not concerned at all’

Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry has admitted that pain in both knees is new but he is not at all concerned by it. Curry had to sit out in a 105-101 loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The talisman returned to action against the Phoenix Suns and scored 23 points in 32 minutes. But the Dubs suffered a 113-105 loss against the Suns.

“[It] has the potential [to be] like a nagging type thing if you don’t take care of it,” Curry said of the knee pain after the game. “I’m not worried about it, not concerned about it at all. It’s just the deeper you get into your career, the more things pop up and you just got to figure it out.”

Curry said the think tank is contemplating of managing his workload in a better way and feels it is a smart decision.

“Honestly, I was happy to get through this one playing 30 and not feeling it go the other way,” Curry said. “Feeling like I was pretty strong. I got stronger as the game went on, and they responded well. Whether that’s [sitting] a back-to-back here or there or whatever, we’ll decide that as we go through.

“But I’m just trying to control how I feel and know that it’s not a forced decision. It’s a smart decision. That’s all I’m trying to make possible.”

Warriors coach Steve Kerr said it imperative for them to manage Curry’s workload in order to get the best out of him.

“He’s 36,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said of having to manage Curry’s knees. “This is all part of getting older and managing his minutes, his body, and Rick and his staff are the best in the world at what they do, and we’re working together every day on this stuff. So we’ll figure it out.”

Golden State Warriors will next take on Denver Nuggets on Tuesday after losing their last four matches.
