UCSF Sports MD Dr Pandaa said on the 95.7FM show: "For an athlete's shooter, it's hard to control the pain (early comeback) and there's no guarantee that it won't get hurt again.

Cole: Iguodala is likely to play in G3 on Sunday
Asked in a team interview how he would limit Morante in G3, Kerr hinted that Iguodala could return from a neck injury to help the team.
Not only does Iguodala have amazing athleticism, but he also has a wealth of playoff experience. The Warriors veteran's ability on the defensive end is equally outstanding.
Cole said on today's podcast: "We'll get an injury report from Iguodala tomorrow. We are praying. We're not sure yet if he'll play Saturday.d.' ”
The Warriors need Curry to fight back to win the series
"We all did well before the fourth quarter, and then we made some stupid mistakes — like myself," Curry said after the game, "just when I came back, I gave them two three-pointers because of my two turnovers, giving them a breathing space."
The Warriors made five turnovers in the fourth quarter of yesterday's game, with Curry scoring eight points in the nine minutes he played and three turnovers.
Morant and Stephen returned to the game at the same time, with 8 minutes and 55 seconds left. During that time, Morant scored 18 of the Grizzlies' 26 points without missing a beat. Even in the final 4 minutes and 16 seconds, Morant scored all 15 points for Memphis.
Curry said after the game: "We need to think more carefully about our shooting choices to effectively mobilize the opposing defense, especially if we don't score with three-pointers." We are very desperate tonight that it can happen. You can expect it to show up at some point, but obviously tonight doesn't belong to us.
'The question we're going to solve is how we do the game when we can't finish the projection the way we want to.
In yesterday's game, as a team with three championship rings, the Warriors made mistakes they shouldn't have made.
"Tonight we've worked really hard, we're proud of the players and the effort was amazing," Kerr said after yesterday's game, "they fought back like crazy and played a lot of nice games." They are trying to compete. But in order to win this series, we have to compete smarter. We have to execute tactics better, and I know we have the ability to do that. ”
The Warriors won their first game at Memphis, taking home-court advantage. After that, the G3 and G4 will be carried out at the Chase Center. The Warriors' roster will also change. Payton Jr., who started the first two games, will be sidelined for some time after being fatally fractured in his left elbow by the Grizzlies' Dillon in G2.
"It's in our DNA and we know what to do," Curry said after the game, "that's why in the last six minutes of the game, we felt we should win this game." If we can't do it, it's going to be very unacceptable. ”
"But we have to have a big picture mindset. We came to the away and have already won a set. On this Sunday we will play on our own home field. ”
The Warriors need to restrain Morant without Peyton Jr., who scored 44 of G2's 47 points after Payton retired. Seeing the opposing defender take over the game undoubtedly stimulated Curry. And the Warriors desperately need to win the next game.
