After missing the final 12 games of the regular season with a foot injury, Steph Curry has looked like his vintage self in his return off the bench during the postseason.
Through four games, Curry is averaging 27.5 points on 51.4% shooting from the floor and 38.9% from beyond the arc. The eight-time All-Star is also adding 5.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in only 28.1 minutes per contest.
During game four, Curry dropped 33 points on 10-of-23 shooting from the floor with eight assists, four steals and three rebounds in a series-high 36 minutes. However, it wasn’t enough to push the Warriors to a sweep over the Nuggets.
Coming off a loss in game four, all eyes are on Steve Kerr to see if Curry gets the nod to return to the starting lineup. Although Kerr said his minute restriction has been lifted, the coach wouldn’t reveal if Curry will rejoin the starting lineup heading into game five.

Steph Curry no longer has any minute restriction. Prevailing expectation is he will return to the Warriors starting lineup in Game 5, but Steve Kerr declined to reveal.
