Overview
- Stephen Curry was ruled out for Thursday against Boston after he couldn't complete a team scrimmage, and Steve Kerr said another MRI is possible with no clear return timetable.
- Kristaps Porzingis practiced, scrimmaged and is listed as questionable, telling reporters he feels "ready to go," with Kerr planning short bursts and limited minutes off the bench if he plays.
- Porzingis has not appeared since Jan. 7 due to Achilles tendinitis and has played only 17 games this season, prompting a cautious reintegration.
- The Warriors are 29-26 and eighth in the West, and they are 6-10 this season when Curry does not play, underscoring the stakes of his recovery.
- Acquired at the Feb. 5 deadline from Atlanta for Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield, Porzingis is expected to add post-up scoring, spacing and rim protection as Golden State navigates the stretch run.
