Patrick McCaw May Return During Postseason

When Patrick McCaw suffered a scary fall and had to be taken off the court on a stretcher near the end of the regular season, it looked like his year might be over. However, McCaw continues to make progress in his injury recovery and is on track for a possible return during the postseason, tweets Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports.

As Charania details, McCaw was able to do non-contact drills at practice for consecutive days. Now, on Monday night, he’s expected to go through his first on-court pregame workout since his March 31 fall.

McCaw, who is dealing with a lumbosacral bone bruise, began modified shooting and running drills earlier this month, with the Warriors indicating on May 3 that he’d be re-evaluated in four weeks. It’s not clear if the second-year guard will be ready to return to action at that four-week mark, but if he is, he could suit up for the Dubs in the NBA Finals — assuming they can get past the Rockets.

The Western Conference Finals, which get underway tonight, are scheduled to run through May 28 if they go seven games, so McCaw is unlikely to get back on the court by the end of the series.
