PORTLAND, Oregon (AP) — Wala pang kasiguraduhan kung magbabalik-aksiyon si Golden State superstar Stephen Curry para sa krusyal Game 4 laban sa Portland.
Nakadikit ang Blazers sa 2-1 matapos makuha ang panalo sa Game 3.
Ayon kay Warriors coach Steve Kerr na maayos na ang kilos ni Curry sa shooting practice, subalit hindi pa aniya lubusang naghihilom ang injury kaya mas makabubuting ipahinga pa ang reigning MVP nang ilang araw.

“Today was by far the best he looked,” pahayag ni Kerr.
“He’s made progress each day. He took part on the court in a practice today. We didn’t scrimmage but we did a lot of defensive work, five-on-oh, full-court shooting stuff. He took part in all of it and he looked much, much better than he did even two days ago. It’s a great sign, but we still want to see him in a three-on-three, a five-on-five. I don’t think that will happen by tomorrow at 5:30 Portland time. ... I don’t see him playing in tomorrow,” aniya.
Pinangangasiwaan ni coach Bruce Fraser ang ensayo sa shooting ni Curry, ngunit hindi pa rin nila inaalis ang brace na ikinabit sa kanang tuhod nito.
“It kind of takes some pressure off Steph and his rehab in a way where he’s not like, ‘Shoot, we’re down 2-0, or it’s 1-1, I need to come back and play,’” pahayag ni center Andrew Bogut.
“It buys us a little bit more time if anything.”
Nagbalik laro si Curry mula sa napinsalang paa noong April 24, ngunit nadulas ito habang dumedepensa sa Game 4 ng serye laban sa Houston Rockets. Nagtamo siya ng Grade 1 sprain sa MCL ng kanang tuhod.
