After an undefeated pre-season run, the Golden State Warriors have continued their strong start, going 5-1 in their first six regular-season games. However, fans have had reason to feel relieved as the team has shown they can win even without their star player, Stephen Curry. Curry has missed the last three games due to an ankle injury, but the Warriors managed to win each.
The Warriors will face the Washington Wizards on Monday. He participated in a light workout session at Georgetown University on Sunday night with his teammates. Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints reported that Curry’s status has been upgraded to “questionable,” and he may make his return to the court against the Wizards.
“Warriors’ Stephen Curry has been upgraded to questionable and may very well make his return from a 3-game absence due to an ankle injury on Monday against the Wizards,” Siegel reported.
Curry’s injury occurred in the Warriors’ only loss, a 104-112 game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Since then, the team has leaned on Buddy Hield and Jonathan Kuminga, who have both stepped up impressively. Their performances were vital in securing wins in all three games Curry missed.
