Warriors News: Stephen Curry's Injury Timetable to Be Re-Evaluated on Friday
Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr told reporters Thursday that he will meet with general manager Bob Myers and director of sports medicine and performance Dr. Rick Celebrini on Friday about a return timetable for point guard Stephen Curry, who has been sidelined since Oct. 30 with a broken left hand.
Curry will also be part of that meeting, per Anthony Slater of The Athletic.
Shams Charania of Stadium and The Athletic reported on Tuesday that Curry was set to return Sunday against the Washington Wizards.
However, Kerith Burke of NBC Sports Bay Area reported that Curry's trainer, Brandon Payne, said the point guard's left hand is still giving him trouble:
Kerr told reporters on Wednesday that he felt Curry needed more full-speed scrimmages under his belt before returning this season:
On Curry's end, he's been targeting Sunday as a return date, per Slater:
The Warriors have been hit hard by injuries. Klay Thompson suffered a torn ACL in last year's NBA Finals and will miss this entire season. Draymond Green has missed 16 games, and D'Angelo Russell was out for 19 contests before being traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
In turn, the Warriors have struggled this season, entering Thursday's home game with the Los Angeles Lakers at a league-worst 12-46.
Curry will certainly boost the team's late-season prospects if he does in fact return, but a playoff berth is out of the question with the Memphis Grizzlies sitting 16 games ahead of Golden State in the Western Conference's final playoff spot and six teams sitting in between.
If Curry does not return Sunday, then the next matchup where he could go would be Tuesday at the Denver Nuggets. A four-game homestand beginning next Thursday will follow.
