In one of the final steps before Stephen Curry’s return from injury, the two-time Most Valuable Player traveled to Santa Cruz for a practice with the G League Warriors.
Curry was assigned to Santa Cruz for one day to practice with the G League squad before he makes his way back to NBA action.
In Santa Cruz, the six-time All-Star went through a five-on-five scrimmage and a shooting workout. A full-contact scrimmage in the G League is another item Curry can check off in his road back to the court.

After the conclusion of the practice, the Warriors immediately recalled Curry back to Golden State.

However, adding a name like Curry into the G League didn’t pass by without NBA Twitter’s notice. Curry’s day in Santa Cruz brought out some jokes on social media, including Steve Kerr.

To Kerr’s credit, the Warriors have been active when it comes to adding players on 10-day contracts. Golden State has both Dragan Bender and Mychal Mulder currently on 10-day deals, with Chasson Randle expected to sign a similar contract with the Warriors soon.
