How soon could Curry return? Surgery might make little difference

SAN FRANCISCO — If Stephen Curry had surgery to fix a fracture on his left hand, he would not return to the court any faster, medical specialists said Thursday.

The Golden Warriors all-star point guard had a CT scan on Thursday to help physicians get a clear picture of the severity of the injury.

“Surgery would not necessarily get him back quicker,” said Dr. Joshua Richards, a hand specialist at Webster Orthopedics in the East Bay. “It would be to realign the bone in a better position.”

Physicians said Curry, 31, a two time NBA most valuable player, should be sidelined no more than two months, with the possibility that he could return to play after four weeks.
