Injury Report: Steph Curry (flu) expected to make return Thursday vs. Nets

Stephen Curry is expected to make his return from his two-game absence with the flu against the Nets.

After missing four months with a broken hand injury, Stephen Curry made his long-awaited return with 20 games left on the schedule. However, his reunion with the Golden State Warriors was short-lived.

Curry has been ruled out for consecutive games after being diagnosed with the flu before the Warriors contest against the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday. The six-time All-Star returned to Golden State’s morning shootaround on Tuesday, but was still held out against Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers.

Yet, the two-time Most Valuable Player could be ready to return as soon as Golden State’s next game. Steve Kerr spoke to reporters about Curry’s illness before the Warriors tipoff against the Clippers. Golden State’s coach expects Curry to play against the Nets on Thursday.

Via Warriors SoundCloud:

I expect him to play Thursday. He wanted to play tonight, and we wouldn’t let him given that he hadn’t done anything the last three days. This is a good day for him to get a good workout, get some rest tonight and then workout again tomorrow and hopefully, everything goes smoothly and he’ll play Thursday night — that’s the plan.

In Curry’s first game back against the Raptors, the point guard scored 23 points on 6-of-16 shooting in 27 minutes.

If the Davidson product is healthy against the Nets, Curry will have 17 games remaining on the schedule to build chemistry with his new teammates going into the offseason.

Injury Report: Steph Curry misses practice with the flu, questionable vs. Clippers

Stephen Curry is listed as questionable with the flu against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Following his return to the court after missing four months with a broken hand, Stephen Curry is back on the injury report. The two-time Most Valuable Player was ruled out with the flu for the Golden State Warriors victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night.

Curry has been diagnosed with “the seasonal flu,” according to the Warriors. Golden State confirmed Curry is not dealing with the coronavirus in a status update — “he has no specific risk factors for COVID-19.”

Curry missed practice on Sunday with the same flu. According to Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle, Curry is questionable for Tuesday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Golden State’s point guard will get another day to rest on Monday as the team has the day off.

Without their six-time All-Star against the Sixers, Damion Lee led the Warriors in scoring with 24 points on 10-of-17 shooting in 34 minutes. If Curry is ruled out against Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers, Lee will be paired with Jordan Poole and Mychal Mulder in the Golden State backcourt.
