Stephen Curry Expected to Return Sunday After Missing 27 Games with Knee Injury
Stephen Curry is expected to get cleared to play Sunday when the Golden State Warriors face the Houston Rockets. The star player has missed 27 games with a knee injury but passed two practice scrimmages this week.
Stephen Curry is expected to return to the Golden State Warriors lineup Sunday against the Houston Rockets after missing more than two months with a knee injury.
The Warriors star has been out for 27 games with what doctors call a persistent right knee issue. But league sources told ESPN that Curry should get official medical clearance after completing two successful practice scrimmages.
Curry has been one of the NBA's top players for years, known for his amazing three-point shooting. The Warriors have struggled without him, and his return could be crucial for their playoff hopes.
Sunday's game will be special for another reason too. Curry will face his former teammate Kevin Durant, who now plays for the Rockets. The two won championships together in Golden State before Durant left the team.
The Warriors haven't said exactly how many minutes Curry will play in his first game back. Teams often limit players' time on the court after long injuries to make sure they don't get hurt again.
Curry is one of the NBA's biggest stars and the Warriors' best player. His return could help Golden State make the playoffs and gives fans a chance to see one of basketball's most exciting players again.
Warriors will officially announce Curry's status before Sunday's game against Houston.
