Stephen Curry ‘Very Optimistic’ He’ll Play Game 1 vs. Nuggets

The Warriors have yet to announce Stephen Curry’s status for Saturday’s playoff opener against the Nuggets. But, according to Curry himself, there’s a great chance he’ll return to the lineup this weekend. 

During an appearance on the newest episode of The Draymond Green Show, the Warriors superstar told his longtime teammate he believes he’s on track to return from his late-season foot injury ahead of Game 1.

“The goal has always been Game 1, the goal still remains Game 1. Very optimistic that it’ll be Game 1,” Curry said. “Whatever that means, I just want to be available. And we know what time of year it is. We ain’t been in the playoffs for two years, it is kind of weird to think about that. I’m so freaking juiced because I know how much I love that environment … I don’t want to miss none of it.”
