Golden State Warriors' star player, Stephen Curry, has been given the green light to return to on-court activities following his recent right ankle sprain. The team announced on Tuesday that Curry has shown significant progress in his recovery and could potentially rejoin the team for practice on Friday in Los Angeles.
Curry underwent a re-evaluation on Tuesday, where it was determined that he is on track with his rehabilitation. He is set to undergo another examination after the upcoming practice session on Friday. In the meantime, Curry will continue his training in the Bay Area, which means he will miss the Warriors' game against Dallas on Wednesday. The team is hopeful that Curry will be ready to play against the Lakers on Saturday night.
An MRI conducted last week revealed no structural damage to Curry's ankle, providing a positive outlook for his return to the court. The injury occurred during the final moments of the game against the Chicago Bulls last Thursday when Curry rolled his ankle while driving to the basket.
Curry has already sat out two games against the San Antonio Spurs over the weekend, bringing his total missed games this season to five. The Warriors have struggled in his absence, highlighting Curry's importance to the team. Since the 2014-15 season, Golden State has a record of 65-105 in regular-season games without the 10-time All-Star.
Despite the setbacks, Curry remains a key player for the Warriors as they currently hold the 10th spot in the competitive Western Conference with 18 games left in the regular season. As Curry celebrates his 36th birthday on Thursday, fans are eagerly anticipating his return to the court and the impact he will have on the team's performance in the remaining games.
