While another fan commented, ?This is a huge L as a warrior fan man. There?s 2 games left these last 2 games would be great for him to get his rhythm back. Throwing him in the first round of the playoffs for his first game back is horrible decision.?

While some fans were disappointed with this update, many understood that it wasn’t as big a deal as some are making it to be.
Lol. A lot of people are tripping under this tweet. Steph missed the last month or more of the regular season last year and was ready to go for the playoffs. It's obvious the plan here is to ramp him up for the playoffs and avoid any possible injury in the last 2 regular games
