As the Golden State Warriors jockey for position in a crowded Western Conference race, they may soon have the services of their best player once again.
Warriors guard Stephen Curry has been cleared to resume on-court basketball activities, the team announced Tuesday afternoon ahead of its game against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday.
Curry, 35, has been out since Thursday after spraining his ankle during Golden State’s 125–122 loss to the Chicago Bulls. The 10-time All-Star exited that game late and did not return.
Per the Warriors, Curry will work out in the Bay Area before joining the team ahead of its showdown with the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday—with Anthony Slater of The Athletic speculating he could potentially return then.
Steph Curry is out for tomorrow’s game in Dallas, per Warriors. He has been cleared to resume on court activities and plan is for him to rejoin team for practice in LA on Friday. Sounds like a possibility he returns on Saturday at Lakers.
