The lessons of the past are that Curry does not need to take the risk of making a comeback, and he should give up on resting his injuries this season

This season, the Warriors opened low and closed high, and their record at the beginning of the season was not stable, but after the mid-term trade came to Butler, they gradually showed competitiveness, and winning the championship again became the Warriors' primary goal this season. After eliminating the Rockets in the first round of the playoffs, they will compete fiercely with the Timberwolves in the second round. Although the Warriors won the first game, unfortunately Curry suffered a left hamstring strain and he was rested for at least 10 days before he could return to play.

Curry is already 37 years old and he will not be careless in any injury, otherwise it will cause a fatal blow to his next career. As we all know, although hamstring strain is not a major injury, if he returns forcibly, it will cause more serious injury problems. The latest example is Harden during the 21st year of the Nets. Harden also had a hamstring strain at the time. For the sake of the playoff record, he forced his comeback after only 10 days of rest. As a result, he broke into a strain again after only four minutes of the first game of the first round. Then in 22 years, Harden's condition began to decline seriously.

In addition, the Warriors also had cases that happened to him. Durant had a calf strain in the 2019 Western Conference semi-finals. Although the Warriors struggled to meet the finals, Durant missed four consecutive games, and the Warriors were also behind 1-3. Seeing that the team had been forced to the edge of the cliff, Durant did not care about the impact of his injury and directly chose to come back forcibly. As a result, his return in the second quarter of the first match, Durant's Achilles tendon ruptured directly in the season.

So Curry still needs to take the problem of hamstring strain seriously and actively carry out rehabilitation treatment. In the next Western Conference semi-finals, the Warriors should not choose to force their return, after all, the results are worthless in the face of health. Although Curry is 37 years old, his competitive state has not declined a lot. His career will continue for about two years after returning from full health in the future. In the long run, Curry should still give up this season and then recover from his injuries in the offseason.
