Some fans have feared for the worst after a collision with Al Horford in Game 3 of the 2022 NBA Final against the Boston Celtics, which led to Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry not moving. After all, the player had injured himself for 12 games against the same team back in March. Thankfully, for Curry and the Warriors, he said he would play in Game 4. Steph's off-ball movement is an integral part of the Warriors' defence, and the Warriors will be hoping Steph is near 100% by the next game that takes place on Friday at the TD Garden in Boston.

"Because I went through what I went through in the regular season and coming back, I know exactly what it is and what I've got to deal with and the soreness, pain level and all that.

"As soon as you started to take a couple of steps, you know whether you can run normal, cut normal or not. There's a good understanding of what it is and all that. I guess comfort knowing I've been through it before, but you would rather not have to deal with something like that at this point in the season," Curry concluded.
