UPDATE: The Golden State Warriors anticipate a major boost as Stephen Curry is expected to return from his thigh contusion this Friday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. In a statement, Warriors coach Steve Kerr confirmed, “It’s looking good,” signaling Curry’s readiness to rejoin the lineup after missing a crucial five-game stretch.
Curry, who opted to rest and rehabilitate in San Francisco during the Warriors’ recent three-game road trip, participated fully in practice after receiving clearance. Following a productive session that included contact drills and a six-minute scrimmage, the star guard is poised to make his comeback after the team struggled with a 2-3 record in his absence.
The Warriors return home with an overall record of 13-12, feeling rejuvenated after securing victories in their last two road games against Cleveland and Chicago. The team’s recent defensive prowess, holding four of their last five opponents below 100 points, has also contributed to this momentum.
Kerr is optimistic about the team’s trajectory, stating they are “finding their rhythm” defensively. As they prepare for the Timberwolves, the potential return of forward Draymond Green, who has missed the last two games due to a foot sprain, adds further depth to the lineup. Kerr expects Green to practice on Thursday and suggests he may also be ready for Friday’s clash.
However, the Warriors could be without veteran center Al Horford, who is sidelined with sciatica. As fans eagerly await Friday’s matchup, the Warriors aim to build on their recent success and regain a stronger standing in the competitive Western Conference.
As the Warriors gear up for this pivotal game, all eyes will be on Curry as he makes his highly-anticipated return to the court. The atmosphere at the Chase Center is sure to be electric as the team looks to capitalize on the momentum and push for a winning streak.
Stay tuned for more updates as the situation develops!
