Wrong, there are 5 degrees of severity in each Grade of MCL sprain that is differentiated by the separation between the joints in millimeters

A minor, or grade 1, MCL tear can take from a few days to a week and a half to heal sufficiently for you to return to normal activities, including sports. This is from an actual viable and reliable college research .ORG source instead of .com clinic. Again there's no such thing as a severe grade 1 sprain.. if it's severe it will be upped to a grade 2 or 3.. depending on severity. https://www.ucsfhealth.org/condition...treatment.html

A Grade 1 with 0 to 1 millimeters of separation is less severe than a Grade 1 with 5 millimeters of separation (which is basically a Grade 2 sprain)

So if a Grade 1 Timetable has a healing expectation of 1-2 Weeks as you claim (which is not true)

And a Grade 2 Timetable has a healing expectation of 2 - 4 weeks

If someone has a severe Grade 1 Sprain (5 millimeters of separation), the healing time table will be closer to the Grade 2 sprain (6 millimeters of separation)

Prove curry had 5 milimeters of separation And even then that shit will only take at the most 2 weeks to heal.

"According to a recent story from Wired, platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP) is the process of taking growth factors from a patient's own blood and concentrating them before injecting them back into the body. The hope is that these concentrated growth factors will accelerate healing. Curry told reporters Tuesday that he received the treatment on the second day after his injury.

Whether PRP therapy is actually effective is another matter, as doctors continue to debate whether there is clear medical evidence of a significant benefit.

Via Wired:

[Orthopedic surgeon Brian] Cole maintains these injections have shown some benefits for healing and, at the very least, haven't shown evidence of being harmful.

But others are skeptical. "There are some situations where it's not utilized in a biologically sound way," says [Dr. Anthony] Luke. "Everyone is always looking for the newest cutting-edge technique that might save a few days or a magic bullet that might fix this." He cautions athletes from using therapies like PRP injections in the place of giving the body enough time to heal.

"It seems Curry is on pace to at least meet that two-week goal. Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters on Tuesday that there is hope Curry could play in team scrimmages later this week, and he has not been ruled out for Game 3 on Saturday. Should he return that night, Curry would be one day shy of the two-week mark set by the team.

Curry came back in game 4 and showed no signs of slowing down after that.

He was fine.

PRP is a completely unproven treatment

Now, though, the first rigorous study asking whether the platelet injections actually work finds they are no more effective than saltwater. The study, reported in the Jan. 13 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association.
