From the minute Stephen Curry was injured in late October against the Phoenix Suns, his looming return became one of the most anticipated dates on Golden State’s schedule.
Late in the stretch run of the regular season, the answer to his return date might be finally revealed.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Curry is slated to return to the Warriors lineup on Sunday, March 1, against the Washington Wizards.

As Curry’s made progress through his rehab, March 1 has turned into the long-time target date for his return. March 1 will serve as the final box on Curry’s checklist in returning to the floor.
In one of the final steps in getting back to the court for game action, Curry was cleared for full contact scrimmages at Golden State’s practice. The six-time All-Star has been going through shooting workouts with the Golden State coaching staff before games.
Steve Kerr spoke to reporters before the Warriors tipped off against the Sacramento Kings and spoke about Curry’s potential return. Kerr said Curry and his broken left hand will be re-evaluated on Saturday.
