UPDATE: The Golden State Warriors are poised for a major boost as Stephen Curry is expected to return from a thigh contusion this Friday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Warriors coach Steve Kerr confirmed, “It’s looking good,” signaling Curry’s readiness after missing five games.
Curry has been sidelined during the Warriors’ recent three-game road trip, opting to stay in San Francisco for rest and treatment. The star point guard aimed for full clearance during Wednesday’s practice, and he successfully participated in contact drills, including a six-minute scrimmage without any issues.
The Warriors, currently with a record of 13-12, are coming off two consecutive road victories against the Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls this past weekend. Despite Curry’s absence, the team has shown resilience, holding four of their last five opponents under 100 points, boasting the third-best defensive rating in the league.
In addition to Curry’s anticipated return, Kerr also expressed optimism regarding forward Draymond Green, who has been out with a foot sprain. Green is expected to practice Thursday and could be available for the crucial matchup against the Timberwolves.
However, the Warriors will likely be without veteran center Al Horford, who is dealing with sciatica and is not expected to play.
Fans are eagerly awaiting Curry’s return as the Warriors look to build on their recent momentum. The game is set for Friday, December 15, and could be a pivotal moment in the season for Golden State. Stay tuned for updates as the situation develops.
