After missing 58 games with the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry is scheduled to make his long-awaited return to the court. The Warriors cleared Curry to play against the Toronto Raptors on Thursday night.
The two-time Most Valuable Player has gone through a long four-month rehab that recently led him to Santa Cruz.
Curry worked out with the Warriors G League affiliate in Santa Cruz for a day of practice. The six-time All-Star went through a five-on-five scrimmage against the Santa Cruz Warriors to ramp up his conditioning before returning to NBA action.
The Davidson product has been traveling with the Warriors on the road and going through a pregame shooting routine before his teammates take the floor.
Curry crossed off the final step in his recovery when Golden State officially cleared him to return when the defending champion Toronto Raptors come to Chase Center in San Francisco.
The three-time champion went to social media to celebrate his return to the court with an “about time” custom video.

Curry will have 20 games left remaining on the schedule to build chemistry with his new teammates and find a rhythm with his surgically repaired hand.
