SFGATE • • sports
Key Points:
- Steph Curry has missed the last 25 games for the Golden State Warriors due to a persistent knee injury, impacting the team's performance with a 9-16 record during his absence.
- Curry participated in team practice and a 5-on-5 scrimmage this week, aiming to return in Sunday’s game against the Houston Rockets, though his knee's response to increased activity remains uncertain.
- The Warriors are treating this week as a critical period for Curry’s comeback, requiring clearance from the team’s sports medicine director before he can play again.
- If Curry returns, he will have only five regular-season games to regain form before the playoffs, with the Warriors currently sitting 10th in the Western Conference and facing a challenging path through the play-in tournament.
- The limited time frame and Curry’s injury status create significant pressure on both the player and team as they push for a playoff spot.
