Stephen Curry is close to returning to the court for the Golden State Warriors this season.
Curry has not appeared in a game since his performance against the Detroit Pistons on January 30. He is suffering from a knee injury which has kept him away from the game for the whole of February and half of March.
NBA insider Brett Siegel provided an update on the veteran superstar's timeline during his appearance with Tomer Azrali on the Clutch Scoops show on March 12. His sources told him that Curry can expect to return in the last week of March to complete his recovery.
"Stephen Curry wants to return before the season ends and I've heard there's optimism looking at the Saturday March 21 game, right after that 10 day window. That's when things open up as to when he could potentially return. Or see if he travels on a six-game road trip because that will tell a lot about whether he can or not. But I'm told the Wednesday March 25 game starts seven of his last 10 at home, that's really it. That's the game in what's probably the last period of this timeline,'' Siegel said at the 42:23 mark.
Stephen Curry, what's next for the Warriors
It is clear that the Warriors need the services of Stephen Curry. They've gone 23-16 with him and 9-17 without him, knowing he'll be vital to their chances in the playoffs this year.
In the 39 games played by Curry, he averaged 27.2 points, 4.8 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game. He is shooting 46.8% from the field, including 39.1% from beyond the arc and 93.1% from the free-throw line.
Golden State has a 32–33 record on the season, tied for ninth in the Western Conference standings. They are above the Portland Trail Blazers and Memphis Grizzlies while trailing the Los Angeles Clippers and Phoenix Suns.
After three consecutive defeats, the Warriors will be looking to get back into the win column in their next match. They will face the Minnesota Timberwolves on March 13, tip-off at 10 PM ET.
