Stephen Curry opts out of 2016 Olympics in Rio, citing need to recover from knee injury

Curry has played through a bevy of injuries this postseason, and has decided to forgo the Olympics to fully recover.

Stephen Curry already made one valiant comeback this summer, returning to action after an intense injury-scare that (seemingly, at the time) left the Warriors' playoff hopes in tatters. Though still not fully recovered, Curry has led his team to the precipice of NBA history, as the Warriors have a chance to finish off the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Finals, further staking their claim as the "best team of all time."

But with all that exertion, and after fighting through a thousand screens, Curry needs a break.
