Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is scheduled to be reevaluated Saturday for a left shoulder subluxation.
The organization is hopeful he can return next Friday when the team begins a six-game road trip in San Antonio.
“He’s working out on the court and he’s got two weeks to reevaluate him this weekend,” Warriors general manager Bob Myers said on Bay Area radio station 95.7.
“There have been no setbacks, so (tomorrow) would be a hope. That’s what we’d be looking for, something in that range when he might be back. He has been, not in contact, but doing everything. He seems the same as always. He wears a sleeve on the shoulder and on the arm”.
Curry injured his shoulder on December 14 against the Indiana Pacers when he collided with Jalen Smith in the third quarter. He immediately grabbed the left shoulder and continued to hold it as he ran down the court. The Warriors subsequently called a timeout and two coaches checked on Curry on the bench before returning to the locker room.
The Warriors have gone 6-4 since Curry’s injury, including the Pacers game in which he was injured. And they haven’t just been without it. Curry’s anticipated return would allow him to rejoin the team as they embark on their next road trip, where they have the worst record in the NBA.
Golden State’s roster has been depleted. In addition to Curry, Andrew Wiggins (right adductor strain, illness), Jonathan Kuminga (sprained right foot), JaMycal Green (infection of right leg) and James Wiseman (sprained left ankle) have all been ruled out. Wiggins will be re-evaluated later this week, while Kuminga, Green and Wiseman will be re-evaluated in a week, the team announced.
