NBA/Curry Return Date Not Set Junior Peyton Also Took A Month Off

Stephen Curry, who has been sidelined with a left calf injury, said in an interview on Monday that he still has no definite date for his return, but he also believes his teammates can bring a winning streak into the All-Star break.

Currie suffered a bruise late in the third quarter against the Mavericks and then felt he couldn't put any weight on his left leg. He missed the next four games, but the Warriors went 2-2.

"The ligament injury may have a different time line, so every examination will have a fixed progress. I hope I can return to the court after the All-Star week, and then determine a specific time according to the situation."

The Warriors didn't make much of a move before the trade deadline this year, sending young long man James Wiseman for last season's championship winner Gary Payton II, who is likely to be out for more than a month because of an abdominal injury, making the injury issue a concern for the Warriors again.

The Warriors went 5-6 in their previous 11 games without Curry, including beating the Wizards on Friday, and 2-2 in their last four without Curry. He emphasized his confidence in his teammates that the team will go into the All-Star break with a winning streak. "I'm very optimistic that we're going to finish the schedule strong," he said. It will be refreshed mentally and physically."
