Stephen Curry admits injured knee has not improved much
By his own admission, Stephen Curry still isn’t totally healthy.
The NBA MVP admitted Sunday that he’s seen little improvement from his injured knee over the last week – but it’s not getting any worse, either.
Steph Curry: Pretty confident I can be effective.(Knee) Hasn't got much better in last week but hasn't got worse either. I'm alright w that.

Well, Steph was effective enough to score 17 of Golden State’s 21 points in overtime of Game Four against Portland. He looked like himself in Game Five, shooting 10-20 from the field and 5-11 from behind the arc. If that is any indication, he can be plenty effective.
The key here will be ensuring that the knee doesn’t get any worse. It’s been a while since he suffered the injury (which you can see here) and he’s resorted to some interesting treatment to get himself into playing condition. The trick now will be keeping him there.
