Curry nearing return: Warriors star set for Sunday comeback

Stephen Curry is on the verge of returning to action. According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the 38‑year‑old Golden State Warriors guard is targeting Sunday’s matchup with the Houston Rockets to end a knee‑injury absence dating back to January 30. Coach Steve Kerr confirmed that Curry has already completed a full 5‑on‑5 practice, though he was ruled out against the Spurs and remains doubtful for the Cavaliers. Despite averaging 27.2 points and 4.8 assists while shooting 39.1% from deep, he will not qualify for All‑NBA consideration, having played only 29 games—well below the league’s 65‑game threshold, marking his first omission since the turbulent 2019‑20 season.

Even without individual accolades, Golden State’s campaign is far from over. At 36‑39, the Warriors sit tenth in the Western Conference and are virtually locked into a play‑in berth, holding an 11‑game cushion over Memphis with just seven regular‑season contests remaining.
