After a three-game absence due to an illness, Warriors star Steph Curry officially will be back on the court when Golden State faces the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday at Paycom Center.
Curry was not on the Warriors’ 1:30 p.m. PT injury report for their game against the defending NBA champions, which kicks off a daunting six-game road trip for a 6-5 Golden State team that certainly felt its star point guard’s absence.
The Warriors went 1-2 without Curry, falling twice on the road against the Sacramento Kings and Denver Nuggets before defeating a short-handed Indiana Pacers team 114-83 on Sunday night at Chase Center.
After the win, Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters he expected Curry back for the road trip. The 37-year-old worked out Sunday night on the Warriors’ practice court, and again on Monday morning.
While Curry is set to return, Warriors center Al Horford is questionable with a left toe injury (management). That was expected, however, with Golden State set for back-to-back games against the Thunder on Tuesday and San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday.
