I guess we have to hope Brian McCormick is wrong. Otherwise, it's curtains on our franchise. (Sorry, but that's how I feel right now.)

Another non contact ankle injury would turn him into Oden for me
I’d pretend like he wasn’t even here
RIP Al Davis
woah, thats a bit heavy
its not like he’s missed the past three seasons
It's lonely being the only Warriors fan at UMass :(
Werd. Over the past 2+ seasons, serious knee injuries have caused Oden to miss 151 games. Curry has missed 13 over the same span.
(Can we assume you’ve also written off Monta, dubzfan? He’s missed 20).
There will be no extra point!

But not to chronic injuries
Its the fact that Curry is injuring the same ankle over and over again without any real hard contact or anything that should cause an ankle . He’s got a weak ankle due to how he moves which will likely never change. It will likely always be a major risk with Curry and at some point it won’t be one of these little sprains but something that will just shut him down for a long time. Ankles are very susceptible to re injury especially when its already weak and every time he hurts it it will get weaker and the sprains will in turn likely get worse
RIP Al Davis
Sure. The point is that the Oden comparison is hyperbolic and foolish.
There will be no extra point!

Steph cant be the only player to start their career spraning and rolling their ankle.
Who else has? And how did their career go on?
Dangerously? Yea.

I dont disagree with that but im saying we shouldnt all be speculating,
we should be looking to see other players who delt with the same issues and see how their career went.. and then speculate
Dangerously? Yea.

WTF Is going on Warriors you need a solid freaking plan in place once and for all I think we all are tired of this shyt
From the fans to FO ,ownership , medical staff, so with said can they finally find a way to Put a plan in Place with doctors and strength trainers even Brian mccormick every freaking person you can find and come to agreement on what a plan should be no more talk time for action

I don't understand
why you hope BM is wrong (i.e. Curry does have structural damage and presumably out indefinitely). Is it that you hope, since we aren’t going to far places with him and this roster, that we tank and get a top draft pick?
Cause I thought this was good news, including the fact that a healthy Curry is a trading chip, while an injured one is not.
He's referring to Brian McCormick from the discussion posted the other day....
…. where it was discussed that the problem lies not in his ankle specifically, but in the mechanics of how he moves; which put him at risk of repeated injury regardless of how much rest or pain he feels in the ankle. If BM is right, then sending Curry out there every time his ankle “feels ok” without further physical therapy, the injury is likely to continue to be chronic.

Because if Brian McCormick is right,
then the real problem hasn’t been fixed, and Curry will likely sustain ANOTHER ankle sprain on his own.
by IQofaWarrior on Jan 10, 2012 2:26 PM PST up reply actions
Also, totally correct!
He has to do strenth work and work on his mechanics (foot strike and stride).
How and why would they even think about putting Curry back on the floor without looking at his stride?

Well...
I don’t know ow much the team was involved, but there were already reports that they analyzed his stride and foot planting during his trip to the Nike facility. I’m not sure how extensive the testing was, or if they came to any conclusions beyond trying to find a better shoe for him. I’d imagine that if they analyzed it from a footwear perspective they might not have been looking at how to change his gait, but just how to best equip him for his current movement patterns.
Nike's conclusion:
“It’s definitely not the shoes.”

Did you even read the article?
That is not what BM said

Well, Steph Curry should not pass a functionality test for at least a month!
And, be doing nothing but ankle and foot strengthening work in the meantime…This season is down the tubes anyway!
down the tubes

I like Steph
…but sure wish we’d traded him for CP3 when we had the chance.
Steph’s trade value is ZERO until he plays a full season without any major ankle sprain – and frankly, does ANY player play a season without spraining their ankle at least once?!?!
I think the W’s SERIOUSLY need to look into those Sprain-less Shoes…
I would've taken Rondo...
in a 3-way trade w/NO and Boston, but at that time, it might have meant taking JGreen, which didn’t end to well for this season.
Anyways, time to focus on Dwight or Bynum instead.
what? i dont see this.
not funny.

No he really did said it on FB
“Just finished a successful surgery on my ankle, thank you Lord for having it not a serious injury
I will be back on the court soon thanks for everyone supporting me”
LMFAO!!!

Are you sure?
The post is from 48 minutes ago… is that his real page? Seems strange that he wouldn’t say anything on Twitter where he’s been much more active.
I think by “just” he must have meant “just this summer.” Or he didn’t write it at all. It’s pretty clear he didn’t just have surgery.
There will be no extra point!

also, the fact that no mention was made of this during the official announcement
makes me doubt that FB page is legit

there really no info out there on his ankle beside his FB page...
i hope it just a very very minor surgery if he did had one.
Yep. Last Summer.

If he says he will be back soon he'll be back soon
Curry sounds really adamant about getting back asap so i’d give him a week or 2 before he’s back. I’m excited how Nate/with steph and monta will work, you could “hypothetically” play nate at the point and have steph and monta rotate in and out. te could run the offense while either plays off the ball or vice versa. I think it will happen as nate needs to have a good year and steph and monta could both be used strategically while. Other teams( NJ, Sac,Indiana, Min,Was,NO) run small court lineups, even the hornets often play 3 guards at a time
by Garrett Flippin on Jan 10, 2012 4:00 PM PST reply actions
hope by functionality test it is proper footwork and technique when moving laterally.
because it seems that the injury hasn’t broken or tore anything where extensive surgery is needed. it is simply a sprain ankle caused upon on top of another sprained ankle…which really f’ing hurts.
good news would be that he fixes or tweaks his planting of the foot and movement laterally. meaning he can still play and also fix his movement at the same time…just like working out after a game or before a game.
curry & iggy TEAM USA buddies.
Now hopefully..
after this week we can start to get back on a roll. This 2-6 record is not sitting with me too well. So many games we could have won..btw I’m new :)

Is this Dr. in Charlotte the best ?
or is he just close to Stef’s hometown?
