Seth Curry Returns for Warriors With 13 Points in 12 Minutes After 3-Month Layoff

His efficient shooting offers a timely boost to Golden State's short-handed perimeter rotation.

Overview

  • After missing roughly 40 games with left sciatic nerve irritation, Curry made his first appearance since Dec. 4 against the Jazz.
  • He logged 12 minutes and scored 13 points, hitting 2-of-3 from beyond the arc and draining a three on his first possession.
  • Curry said it “felt great” to be back and described a month during recovery when he “couldn’t move at all,” with a key rehab jump over the All-Star break.
  • Coach Steve Kerr called him “one of the best shooters in the league” and praised his ability to score in a hurry.
  • Golden State views his shooting as needed help with Stephen Curry rehabbing a knee and Moses Moody and Will Richard still out, with his availability on back-to-backs to be managed carefully.
