Stephen Curry says “pretty good” chance he plays in Game 3 next Saturday

The Golden State Warriors were just fine without him Sunday in Game 1.
But no doubt the Warriors are a much more dangerous team with the past-and-future league MVP, so when will they get him back? Maybe by next weekend.

Steph Curry to Lisa Salters on chances he plays game 3, “To me, they’re pretty good"
That would put him a couple of days inside the two weeks the team said he would be out, but it’s not unreasonable.
That said, players are the worst people to ask about their recovery timeline, they are always convinced they can be back more quickly than the team doctors say. Also, if the Warriors can win Game 2 Tuesday at home and be up 2-0 in the series, why rush Curry back? Make Portland win a game first.
That said, the Warriors would like to get Curry a little game run and his legs under him this series, because they are going to need him next series (against San Antonio or possibly Oklahoma City).
