UPDATE: The Golden State Warriors are set to welcome back superstar Stephen Curry for their game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday, December 8, 2023. Warriors coach Steve Kerr confirmed, “It’s looking good,” indicating the team’s anticipation for Curry’s return after a five-game absence due to a thigh contusion.
Curry missed the Warriors’ recent three-game road trip, choosing to stay in San Francisco for rest and treatment. The decision appears to have paid off, as he was cleared to participate fully in practice on Wednesday, including a six-minute scrimmage without any issues. This positive development comes at a crucial time for the Warriors, who are currently at 13-12 overall and looking to build on their recent momentum.
The Warriors have secured victories in their last two games, defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls on the road. During Curry’s absence, the team managed a 2-3 record, showcasing strong defensive capabilities by holding four of their last five opponents below 100 points. They currently boast the third-best defensive rating in the NBA, which could be pivotal as they face the Timberwolves.
Kerr also mentioned that Draymond Green, who has been sidelined with a foot sprain, is expected back at practice on Thursday, potentially joining Curry on the court Friday night. Meanwhile, veteran center Al Horford is unlikely to play due to ongoing issues with sciatica.
Fans are eagerly awaiting Curry’s return, as his presence could significantly impact the Warriors’ performance and playoff aspirations. The excitement is palpable in the Bay Area, with tickets for the Friday night showdown selling quickly.
Stay tuned for further updates as the game approaches, and be ready for what promises to be a thrilling matchup against the Timberwolves!
