Key Points:

- Despite progressing to more intense court work, Curry has not yet been cleared for 5-on-5 scrimmages, with team medical staff remaining cautious about his right knee.
- Coach Steve Kerr emphasized the urgency of Curry's return, noting that without enough games left to build a proper comeback, a season shutdown might be necessary.
- The Warriors have struggled in Curry's absence, holding an 8-15 record and sitting 10th in the Western Conference, compounded by season-ending injuries to other key players.
- Curry remains motivated to return late in the regular season, although persistent pain and swelling have delayed his comeback beyond the initial injury diagnosed as "runner's knee."
