Warriors head coach Steve Kerr provided an encouraging update on Stephen Curry after the 38-year-old went through another scrimmage on Thursday evening, tweets Nick Friedell of The Athletic.
“He looked good … he looks like Steph Curry,” Kerr said.
Kerr wouldn’t commit to Curry playing on Sunday, saying that would be up to the star guard and Rick Celebrini. A final call will likely happen on Friday, Friedell adds, but it certainly sounds like Curry is on track to suit up this weekend, barring a last-minute setback.
The two-time MVP has been sidelined since late January due to patellofemoral pain syndrome in his right knee.
Here are a few more health-related updates from around the NBA:
- Veteran forward Tobias Harris suffered a left knee contusion in the first half of Thursday’s matchup with Minnesota and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest, the Pistons announced (via Twitter). Harris, who has started each of the 59 games in which he’s appeared this season, will be an unrestricted free agent this summer.
- Sixers center Joel Embiid has been listed as doubtful ahead of Friday’s game vs. Minnesota because of an illness, per Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice. Embiid sat out Wednesday’s win against Washington because he was sick and the doubtful designation suggests he’s likely to miss a second consecutive game.
- Josh Giddey was held out of Wednesday’s contest vs. Indiana after experiencing left hamstring tightness and his status for the final six games of the season is up in the air, according to Brian Sandalow of The Chicago Sun-Times. The Australian guard missed 19 games due to left hamstring issues earlier in 2025/26 and is considered day-to-day, head coach Billy Donovan said.
- Rookie wing David Jones Garcia, who is about two months removed from season-ending ankle surgery, is no longer using a scooter and is traveling with the Spurs during their ongoing road trip, writes Jeff McDonald of The San Antonio Express-News. Jones Garcia is expected to make a full recovery at some point in the offseason. “He’s a big part of the locker room and the group and the guys, so it’s been good to have him around,” head coach Mitch Johnson said.
Fingers crossed for a “last-minute setback.”
With all this emotional, Curry coming back garbage, hopefully cooler heads prevail.
Curry wants to play because of his endorsements, sponsors, and to show that he is HEALTHY and well. Dont forget that he only has ONE year left on his contract.
warriors are a disaster their window slammed shut – Curry is the only thing that keeps them relevant
There’s always next year.
But in all seriousness, your comment reeks of bitterness in a major way. Window “slammed shut?”
They’re in the play-in which is around .500 in the tough west. I’d call that still competitive, not a “disaster.”
Curry: 23-16
Warriors without Curry 13-24
Says it all. There is your “most valuable” player. No one else in the league is like this. OKC is 8-4 with SGA, Nugs are 10-6 without Joker. Being this bad, being 13-24 is crazy work by a team who refuses to fire the coach for any reason, including the Poole incident, a thing he absolutely should have been fired for.
