Overview
- Curry, who has been out since Jan. 30 with patellofemoral pain syndrome in his right knee, was cleared Tuesday to scrimmage five-on-five for the first time in about two months.
- Steve Kerr ruled him out for Wednesday against the Spurs and labeled him doubtful for Thursday versus the Cavaliers, with evaluations based on how his knee responds to the scrimmage work.
- The Athletic reported that Curry is targeting Sunday’s home game against the Rockets for a possible return, which remains unconfirmed by the team.
- Curry said he felt great after the session but noted the knee has reacted unpredictably in past ramp-ups, a common challenge with runner’s knee and an associated bone bruise that can flare with increased load.
- Golden State sits 36-39 in the West’s 10th spot and wants Curry to log a short runway of regular-season minutes before the play-in, where the team would likely need two wins to reach the playoffs.
