OAKLAND, Calif. – Stephen Curry, the guard of the Golden State Warriors, is expected to play at some point for the team's next five-game trip, which begins Thursday against the Toronto Raptors, to the east, while he is recovering from an injury to the left groin. .
The Warriors updated Curry's status before the Saturday night's game against the Sacramento Kings, saying it's "making very good progress" after a follow-up review and that it will begin to step up its work on the field in the coming days, including participating in training. with the rest of his teammates.
Curry was initially injured in the lineup in a loss to Milwaukee Bucks on Nov. 8, and has missed nine games since. He gradually began to work more in the field during the past week.
"He is much better," Warrior coach Steve Kerr said on Saturday. "We're just going to keep taking it day by day, and Rick [Celebrini, Warriors director of sports medicine and performance] feels very strongly that he will play on the road trip ".
Kerr said Curry was "impatient" to come back, but the Warriors had taken a cautious approach throughout his re-education process.
"He can not wait to come back," said Kerr. "But he handled the problem very well, supporting his teammates, doing his rehab every day, and working very hard, so he manages it quite exactly as you would expect, and Steph would do it."
Striker Draymond Green (toe) and swingman Alfonzo McKinnie (foot) remained on the outside of the Kings. Both are day-to-day, according to Kerr.
The Warriors will host the Orlando Magic Monday before starting their five-game road trip on Thursday.
