Stephen Curry (Golden State) will not return until the NBA play-offs. “Stephen will return to individual training next week, and his eventual return for group sessions will depend on his continued progress“, the Warriors said, adding that “the next update on his condition will be released on April 11“. The day before, that is to say in nine days, will have sounded the end of the regular season, whose stake for the Californian franchise, currently 4th in the West and on the verge of ensuring its presence in play- offs, is to finish in 3rd place, a battle at a distance which is being played out against Dallas, the two teams currently having the same record (48-29).
Just five years ago, Curry became MVP
Curry hasn’t played since his March 16 injury against the Boston Celtics. His foot had been caught in a cantilever by Marcus Smart, on an action where they struggled to catch the ball on the ground. Deprived of the best three-point scorer in history, which runs this season at an average of 25.5 units, the Warriors have conceded six defeats in seven games.

He understands his value as a leader and as an All-Star player
Coach Steve Kerr, who said he secretly hoped his shooter would return for one or two regular-season games, recalled his importance to the team as they seek to return to the top of the league, having played in five finals in a row, winning three titles in 2015, 2017 and 2018.”You can see him in practice, he pulls the guys aside, he talks to them. He understands his value as a leader and as an All-Star player“, he said.
As for whether Curry will be able to perform quickly on the court, Kerr wanted to be resolutely confident: “one shot is enough to get him back on track“.
