In his first public comments since he had arthroscopic surgery on his right ankle, Warriors point guard Stephen Curry expressed relief. “I can have a clear mind and know that it’s going to be healthy next year and just play,” Curry said Saturday. “Thankfully, the best-case scenario happened with the scope.” Contra Costa Times

Shouldn’t he be holed up somewhere with his ankle elevated – and trapped in a steel cast to preserve Golden State’s playoff hopes? “I’ve got probably five or six holes in my ankle,” Curry said before signing caps and taking pictures with community members. “They went in and looked every where, got a 360-view of the ankle, to make sure everything was straight. Now it’s just getting the swelling out, getting my strength back. Now that we have a normal offseason, I can schedule everything to be ready for October.” Contra Costa Times

Point guard Stephen Curry and center Andrew Bogut will each have arthroscopic ankle surgery this week, Warriors general manager Larry Riley said in what appeared to be an impromptu conference call Saturday morning. The announcement came three days after Curry said he was going to avoid a second surgery on his right ankle at all costs and ended any hope of Bogut playing for Australia in the London Summer Olympics.

Curry had surgery to repair the outside two ligaments in his right ankle in May, but reinjured the ankle in December and has missed 37 games, including the past 25, with five ankle sprains this season. "Surgery is always right around the corner as long as you continue to get hurt," Curry said Wednesday. "If I get back on the court, and it still doesn't want to act right, surgery might be a possibility. I'm not thinking about that. I want to stay away from surgery as much as possible. I highly doubt that's the only way to fix it." San Francisco Chronicle

Is Curry thinking he won’t a long-term extension when he’s eligible this fall? Would be OK if he doesn’t get one? Curry said “it would be great” if an extension happened and “if we both met somewhere” presumably in the middle of what he would’ve asked for if healthy and what the GSWs might be offering an injured player. But that’s a tough deal to make, and Curry said he’d understand if he goes through next season and ends up as a restricted free-agent in summer 2013. San Jose Mercury-News

Q: Are you thinking that an extension might not happen this fall? Are you OK if it doesn’t happen? -CURRY: That’s out of my control. When you have an injury like this you always have some doubts and some concerns when it comes to contract negotiations, especially my first go-’round at it. Whether that happens or not, I want to be out here and be a part of where we’re going. So it’ll be great if it did–and if we both met somewhere. But if not, I’ve got a season to play next year and to continue get better and whatever happens, happens. San Jose Mercury-News

Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry 

Q: Are you worried enough about your ankle that you might take less than you’re worth, just for the guarantee? Or do you want to come back and play at a high level before you do an extension? -CURRY: I haven’t really thought about that. That’s something to think about over the summer. There’s really no real rush right now, no point in thinking about it. Really right now it’s just about getting healthy and making sure I feel comfortable on my ankle, regardless of any other circumstance, whether it’s my contract, things like that. I don’t really know how to answer that right now. San Jose Mercury-News

Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry 

What’s a good timeline for you–when will you be 100% and start testing it out? -CURRY: Probably in a month or so. There’s no real rush now at this point to keep wearing and tearing on it. The treatment I’ve been doing the last month, probably just keep that going and then at that point hopefully can wrap it up and maybe play some pick-up somewhere and get my legs back. At that point, I’ll treat it like a normal summer of preparing for training camp. Just know maybe add an hour extra a day to focus on my ankle and strength and balance and range of motion, stuff like that, that needs to be ready for a long season next year. San Jose Mercury-News

Q: Is surgery out of the question? -CURRY: It’s always right around the corner, I guess, as long as you continue to get hurt. But that’s a thing, if I get back on the court, it still doesn’t want to act right, it might be a possibility. But I’m not thinking about that. Want to stay away from surgery as much as possible, from what I went through last year… what surgery entails for the rehab process and all that. If it comes down to it–which I highly doubt–that’s the only way to fix it, then we have to think about it. But right now we’re not there. San Jose Mercury-News

The Warriors confirmed Tuesday what has been suspected for a while now -- guard Stephen Curry will miss the remainder of the NBA season. CSNBayArea.com

Warriors general manager Larry Riley said Curry met with team doctors after Monday's game against the Spurs and was told the injured right ankle is "making progress." However, doctors also said Curry's ankle was not yet 100 percent, meaning he won't return for any of the team's remaining six games. CSNBayArea.com

Warriors GM Larry Riley said PG Stephen Curry is likely done for the year after being re-evaluated Monday night. Riley said Curry is improving but not 100%. " It doesn't appear he will get there before this (coming road) trip so it's doubtful he"ll return this season." If Curry reaches 100% by the end of the road trip, Riley said he still wouldn't play Curry. " i see no point in throwing him out there for one game or two games" Sulia

Marcus Thompson: Just heard Warriors PG Stephen Curry will undergo another evaluation and word on his sprained right ankle is expected by Monday. Twitter

You can understand Curry's desire to head into summer knowing he played a few late-April games without hobbling off the court. But there's no guarantee that the ankle will be 100 percent sturdy, no matter what the doctors say. And if Curry were to get hurt again, with only afterthoughts remaining in a dismal season, it would be a total embarrassment for all concerned. San Francisco Chronicle

The Warriors officially ruled point guard Stephen Curry out of games for the next two weeks, at which point his surgically repaired right ankle will be re-evaluated. He has missed 22 games, including the past 11, but is hoping he'll be able to return for some of the season's final nine games. "I think when he came into camp - after surgery, resting and rehabbing - he looked sharp," Jackson said. "After he went down the first time (Dec. 20), I would probably say he's never been 100 percent after that. He loves to play, doesn't want to let down his teammates, and he wants to be part of it." San Francisco Chronicle

Q: What does Curry have to gain by coming back at all? -JACKSON: If he’s 100%, he’s paid to play. I don’t know anybody that’s 100% that shuts it down. If that’s the case, I don’t want them on my team. I think the thing to gain is… You can say what does David Lee have to gain right now? He’s out there playing, doing everything I ask him to do. I’ve seen pros shut it down. I’ve seen people shut it down when it looks like you’re playing for nothing. I think it’s during these times that you make a statement–a loud statement–not just to your teammates but to everybody else. San Jose Mercury-News
