Injury Update: Steph Curry practices with G League Santa Cruz Warriors

Before he returns from injury, Stephen Curry spent time practicing with the G League Santa Cruz Warriors.

It’s been a long process, but it looks like Stephen Curry‘s return from injury is nearing. The Golden State Warriors’ point guard has missed a majority of the 2019-20 season due to a hand injury. Still, he could be on his way back as the calendar flips to March.

Curry’s checked off a bevy of steps during his broken hand rehab. The injured two-time Most Valuable Player has been traveling with the Warriors on the road, participating in practice and full-contact scrimmages. Curry has also been suiting up to go through his pregame shooting routine before the Warriors take the court.

One of the final steps in his rehab led Curry on a day trip to Santa Cruz. The six-time All-Star was assigned to Golden State’s NBA G League affiliate in Santa Cruz for a day of practice.

Curry went through scrimmages with the Santa Cruz squad to build up his rhythm and conditioning before getting back to game action with Golden State. When the 5-on-5 scrimmage was over, Curry went through shooting drills.

After practice was over in Santa Cruz, the Warriors quickly recalled Curry back to the NBA club.

There has yet to be a confirmed date for the Davidson product’s official return to the floor. However, the next available option could be Thursday when the defending champion Toronto Raptors travel to San Francisco.

Report: Steph Curry to return to Warriors lineup on March 1 vs. Wizards

Stephen Curry will make his return to the Golden State Warriors’ starting lineup on March 1 against the Washington Wizards, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.

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.

Via Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle:

If Curry can return against Washington, he will have 22 games with the Warriors to end the 2019-20 season.

Report: Steph Curry scheduled to be re-evaluated Friday before return

Before Stephen Curry makes his long-awaited return to the starting lineup, his broken hand will be re-evaluated on February 28, according to Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Stephen Curry has checked off many boxes when it comes to his broken left-hand rehab. The former Most Valuable Player has only played in four games all season. Yet as his rehab progresses to the final stages, his return is near.

Curry’s been traveling with his teammates on the road and participating in pregame warmups with the Warriors coaching staff. At practice, Curry has been shooting without any type of brace and has been taking part in full-contact scrimmages.

Sunday, March 1 has been the long-discussed target date for Curry’s return, but before he is officially cleared, the six-time All-Star will have one final test.

According to Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle, Curry will be re-evaluated by Golden State on Friday.

How Curry’s hand responds to Friday’s evaluation could be the key to his return. After his assessment, Golden State will play a weekend back-to-back at Chase Center in San Francisco against the Phoenix Suns and Washington Wizards.

If Curry can return by the targeted March 1 game against the Wizards, the Golden State point guard will have 22 games remaining on the 2019-20 schedule.

Watch: Injured Steph Curry does pregame shooting warm-up in Boston

Stephen Curry is still rehabbing from his broken hand injury, but before the Warriors tipped off against the Boston Celtics he went through a shooting warmup.

As the Warriors started their five-game road trip with a pair of losses, Golden State got a quick dose of positive news from one of their injured “Splash Brothers.” Before tipping off against the Boston Celtics, a familiar face joined the pregame festivities.

Stephen Curry is still rehabbing his broken hand. Yet, during the month of January, the two-time Most Valuable Player has made progress with his injury that’s kept him out all but four games this season.

Curry has been traveling with the team and participating in shooting workouts since having the pins removed from his surgically repaired hand. The injured All-Star took another step in his rehab on Thursday in Boston.

Before the game started, Curry was running around the court, going through a pregame shooting warmup. Warriors assistant coach Bruce Fraser was working with Curry, guarding him throughout the workout.

Before Curry wrapped up his pregame workout, he was spotted knocking down some of his signature long-distance shots.

Curry is scheduled to have his hand evaluated by the Warriors in February, with a report from Marcus Thompson III of The Athletic saying he could return in March.

In the meantime, seeing Curry off the bench and back in his natural habitat, launching three-pointers is a positive sign for a struggling Golden State Warriors’ squad.

Report: Steph Curry had second surgery to remove pins from broken hand

Stephen Curry is still on-track for February update after having surgery to remove pins from his broken left hand.

The Golden State Warriors season hasn’t been the same since Stephen Curry left with a hand injury against the Phoenix Suns in October. It’s been one month and six days since Curry’s injury, and the Warriors have only won three-of-19 games in that time, to say the team has missed their two-time MVP would be an understatement.

Curry’s 19 games missed due to injury will continue to grow as he’s not close to nearing a return, but there’s positive news on the All-Star’s rehab. Shams Charania of The Athletic reported Curry had his second surgery on his broken left hand, this time to remove pins from his surgically repaired hand.

Curry’s original injury timetable was set with a re-evaluation planned for February, and Charania confirmed the shooter is still on track for that evaluation period after having his second surgery.

Expect the Warriors to be incredibly patient with their franchise star’s rehab. Although it’s a positive sign Curry is still scheduled for re-evaluation in February, it would be a surprise if Golden State rushed him back to the floor.

With the Warriors sitting 15-games under .500 in only December, there’s little need for Curry to accelerate his comeback. The season is quickly turning into a developmental year with an emphasis on the future. Curry is only 31-years old and still the centerpiece to any, and all of the Warriors’ long-term plans.
