Steph Curry About to Save the Warriors' Season Before It's Too Late
After two months on the sidelines, Steph Curry is coming back. Golden State expects to clear their star for Sunday's matchup against the Rockets following two successful scrimmages this week, and let's be real: this franchise needs him desperately right now.
Curry has been out since Jan. 30 when he injured his right knee against Detroit. Two months of setbacks, two months of watching the Warriors sink deeper into trouble without their best player. But the knee finally responded well, and after competing in two 5-on-5 scrimmages at the team's San Francisco facility this week, he cleared the medical checkpoints. He'll practice Saturday and suit up Sunday.

Here's where it gets ugly. With Curry on the floor this season, Golden State is 23-16. Without him? They're 13-25 in 38 games. That's a 36-41 record that has them sitting in 10th place in the Western Conference. They're not in the playoffs. They're not even close. They'll have to win two play-in games in mid-April just to scrape into the postseason as the eighth seed and face Oklahoma City in the first round.
Things got worse when Jimmy Butler tore his ACL in January, turning what should've been a championship contender into a scramble just to stay alive. But Curry never stopped grinding behind the scenes. He's motivated to return in time to give the franchise a jolt, even if the championship window has basically slammed shut.
Five Games to Build Momentum
Coach Steve Kerr already warned that Curry will need a "runway" of games to find his rhythm and ramp up his workload before those critical play-in games. The Warriors have five regular season games left. Five. That's not much runway, but it's something.
Sunday against Houston is the moment. The Curry Era is about to resume, and Golden State's season depends on him finding his form fast.
