The Golden State Warriors’ pursuit of the championship this season hit a snag in the conference semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves, primarily due to a pesky hamstring injury that sidelined their superstar, Stephen Curry.
In a recent press conference, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr raised eyebrows about a troubling trend in NBA injuries while discussing Curry’s recovery.
“Who’s more likely to be able to withstand the rigors of the pace and space and the game-every-other-day schedule —the younger players or the older players? The younger guys are. The most important point of all of this is the pace and space and how much more mileage that players are covering. You see all these injuries … I don’t think players get enough rest anymore,“ Kerr said.
Kerr emphasised the hurdles posed by the current NBA schedule, noting that younger players often adapt more effectively to its strenuous demands. Additionally, he pointed out that the rising number of injuries is likely influenced by the NBA schedule.

Curry strained his hamstring in the second quarter of Game 1 of the series against the Timberwolves. Although the Warriors clinched a victory that game, it turned out to be their only win of the series. With Curry out of the picture, the Warriors faced an uphill battle and were ultimately knocked out in just five games. During a recent press conference, Coach Kerr pointed out that Curry’s injury was likely due to not having enough recovery time between games.
“Do you think Steph pulling his hamstring has anything to do with playing 48 hours after logging 46 minutes of Game 7 in Houston? One hundred percent. If he had an extra day or two … we can’t prove this, but I have no doubt based on our understanding of the scientific literature that the hamstring injury was the result of inadequate recovery and fatigue,” Kerr said.
Curry’s absence led to a frustrating playoff exit for the Warriors, a tough blow for fans. Kerr expressed confidence that they could have achieved greater success if Curry had stayed injury-free. This season, Curry posted impressive stats, averaging 24.5 points, 6.0 assists, and 4.4 rebounds across 70 games
