During the final stretch of the Golden State Warriors 2019-20 season, Stephen Curry’s return from injury remains the most important date on the calendar. Curry has only played in four games this season since suffering a broken hand in late October, but his return is expected in March.
Warriors’ fans aren’t the only ones counting down the days till Curry is back on the court. Members of Golden State are also awaiting the return of the two-time Most Valuable Player.
Golden State recently signed Mychal Mulder from the G League’s Sioux Falls Skyforce to a 10-day contract with the club. The newest Warrior is excited for the opportunity to potentially play alongside Curry.
Via 95.7 The Game:
Coming in on a 10-day, just to have an opportunity to play, is a great opportunity in itself. I know a lot of guys on 10-days, and they might not get so many minutes or so many reps even in practice. It’s been a really good chance for me to showcase myself here — but as far as Steph getting back, I’m super excited about that. I’m really hoping he gets back while I’m here. Wishing him the best of health and a speedy recovery right now. To have him back during my time here would be huge for me. Obviously, he would make me better on and off the court. I’m excited to get to work with a little bit during games. Hopefully, we can get him back during my time here. I’m really looking forward to playing with him, honestly.

Mulder is averaging 11 points on 42.9 % shooting while grabbing 4.0 rebounds in three games with Golden State. The 6-foot-3 guard has scored in double-figures in the Warriors’ past two contests while eclipsing 30-minutes in each game.
The Kentucky product has three games remaining on his 10-day deal with the Warriors. If Mulder wants the opportunity to play with Curry, he’ll have to build off his impressive play to solidify his spot with Golden State beyond 10 days.
