Stephen Curry was on the bench in the game against New York Knicks, “This is an interesting one just because I haven’t had an injury like this on the shoulder, so it’s a wait and see approach,” he said on the TNT coverage.

“I’m still in the early healing process, so I’m nowhere near picking up a basketball yet. It’ll be a few weeks. Maybe we’ll get to the new year, and I’ll start to key in on a timeline from there,” added 4-time NBA Champion.
