Steph Curry's trainer claim nerve issue in hand of Warriors star could take year to heal

Golden State Warriors superstar Steph Curry is getting closer to make a return after picking up an injury, however it appears he won't be 100 percent when he steps on the court in a few days. Curry's personal trainer Brandon Payne claimed that the nerve issue in that hand hasn't gone away and could linger for a while despite broken left hand has healed. Speaking on NBC Sports Bay Area's SNC: Warriors Edition, Payne said: "I don't think there's any real risk of re-injury to the hand. I think, as far as the healing, that's all going really well. You mentioned the nerve issue. We're still kind of working through that and that's something that's gonna progressively improve over time. "It's not all the way back to where he wants it to be right now, but it has gotten better since the surgery and since the initial recovery period after the surgery. So he is feeling a little bit better in his hand now that we're getting closer for when it's time for him to play. And that will continue to improve. The doctors have told us that could take up to a year to fully come back. "We anticipate that getting better. We've also done some research with some virtual reality, working on his hands, working to retrain the communication from the nerves in the hands, from his fingertips to his brain, back and forth, so we'll be doing some of that in the offseason." The Warriors are expected to release an update on Curry on Friday and he is expected to already start in the Sunday's game against Washington Wizards. However, in the recent clash with LA Lakers, Curry-less Warriors suffered a 86-116 loss. Source- Yahoo! Sports
