Stephen Curry looks ready: Warriors star set to return Friday
Curry nearing a comeback
Stephen Curry is expected to return for the Golden State Warriors on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves after suffering a thigh contusion late in November against Houston. He took part in the team’s most recent practice, including contact work and a six-minute scrimmage, which makes his availability for the next game likely.
Coach Steve Kerr gave a short, optimistic update on Curry’s condition: “It looks good.” If cleared, Curry will rejoin a team that depends on his scoring and playmaking night after night.
What to expect and quick notes
This season Curry is averaging 27.9 points, 4.0 assists and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 47.1% from the field and 39.1% from three. His presence on the floor would immediately improve the Warriors’ spacing and offensive rhythm heading into a busy stretch of games.
Teams around the league are continuing to adjust and coaches and players have been sharing their perspectives in recent interviews. The Warriors should provide a final update on Curry’s status before tip-off, but current signs point toward him being available Friday.
