Stephen Curry might be returning to the court on Sunday for the Warriors against the Rockets
It looks like we might be seeing Stephen Curry back on the court for the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Playoffs rather soon. Like, probably as soon as Sunday.
After missing the last two games nursing the ankle injury he suffered in Game 1 of the opening round series against the Houston Rockets, the team has listed Curry as “probable” for Game 4 on Sunday.

Curry left Game 1, a Warriors win, with the injury in the second half. From there, it was announced that he would just be held out of Game 2, a contest in which the Warriors took a 2-0 series lead. However, things did not go as swimmingly in Game 3 this past week, as the Rockets were able to come away with the win following a controversial James Harden jumper with time running down.
That Game 3 loss to Houston was really the first time we noticed that Curry was indeed missed on the floor and they might need him back if they just want to run away with this one and advance.
There’s a lot of time between now and game time Sunday, meaning things could change, but it is more than plausible after a week of rest for that ankle that Curry will be back out there dropping in buckets for Golden State.
