With a 12-43 record at the All-Star break, there’s not much positivity circulating around the Golden State Warriors. However, when it comes to Stephen Curry’s broken hand injury, the good news keeps rolling in.
Curry has only played in four games in the 2019-20 season after suffering a broken hand injury in late October. Since the 2020 New Year began, Curry has had a bevy of positive updates about his left hand.
Curry’s been traveling with Golden State on the road and participating in shooting exercises. The two-time Most Valuable Player has taken part in recent pregame workouts while ramping things up at practice.
In the Warriors’ first practice back from the All-Star break, Curry participated with the team at every level except for the scrimmage portion. Curry has yet to be cleared for full-contact practices. The six-time All-Star donned a red jersey to ensure no one would touch him.
Steve Kerr compared Curry’s practice attire to how the NFL protects quarterbacks.
Via Anthony Slater of The Athletic:
We’re calling him Tom Brady today — don’t touch Steph. I think it was more for fun than anything, but, he took part in everything other than our scrimmage at the end, he couldn’t do that. He did take place in everything else, and he’s looking great.
Steph Curry was in a red jersey for practice today. It meant: Don’t touch. Steve Kerr: “We were calling him Tom Brady.” Curry took part in all non-contact parts of practice. Won’t scrimmage this week. Full update here. pic.twitter.com/C8L5ObMBuJ

Curry is scheduled to be reevaluated in just a couple weeks away in March. If the Davidson product can return healthy in March, he will have around 20 games with Golden State to finish the remainder of the season.
