Overview

  • Curry, who was cleared for contact, took part in a full five‑on‑five scrimmage Tuesday and Steve Kerr ruled him out for Wednesday with “doubtful” for Thursday.
  • Multiple outlets report he is targeting Sunday, April 5 at home vs. the Rockets for a possible return, which the team has not finalized.
  • Golden State plans another scrimmage this week and a weekend evaluation to decide if he is ready to play.
  • Curry said he “felt great” after the scrimmage but noted his patellofemoral pain syndrome, or runner’s knee with a bone bruise, can flare when on‑court load increases.
  • The Warriors are 36–39 in 10th place, and Kerr says Curry needs a short game “runway” before the play‑in, making a Sunday comeback key to securing a few tune‑up games.
