Steph Curry’s return to the Golden State Warriors may be delayed

Having missed ten games due to a knee injury, during which the team went 4-6, Curry admitted to ABC’s Malika Andrews that he needs "a little bit more time." He described the healing process as unpredictable and "weird," emphasizing a day-to-day approach. Since he has not practiced on-court yet, regaining peak conditioning is essential before rejoining Coach Kerr.

This uncertainty complicates matters for Golden State, already missing Jimmy Butler due to a season-ending ACL tear. Lacking their primary offensive weapons, the Warriors have become one of the league’s weakest attacks. Sitting eighth in the West, they maintain a crucial 2.5-game cushion over Portland to secure a favorable play-in spot. Off the court, the team signed forward Gui Santos to a three-year, $15 million extension. The sharpshooter, avoiding free agency, provides needed depth with his solid perimeter scoring abilities.
