SAN FRANCISCO — Seth Curry, the younger brother of Warriors superstar Steph, still has a ways to go before he returns to the Golden State rotation.
Seth Curry has missed the past 24 games with sciatica, and the Warriors announced on Wednesday that he will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
“The re-evaluation indicated that Curry continues to make good progress,” the press release read. “He will begin to intensify his on-court workouts this week, including live play.”
He has been participating in on-court workouts since at least Jan. 31, which is the last time the Warriors sent out a similar release stating Curry would be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Curry led the league in 3-point percentage (45.6%) in 68 games for his hometown Charlotte Hornets last season, and has made 43.3% of his long-range shots over the course of his 11-year career.
He wowed in his Warriors and a sold-out Chase Center crowd during his debut on Dec. 1 against the defending NBA champion Thunder, making 6 of 7 shots and scoring 14 points in 17 minutes.
The Warriors had brought Curry in for training camp, but because of the salary cap, they were unable to sign him to the regular-season roster until enough time had passed and his pro-rated salary did not push the Warriors above the restrictive second apron.
Curry then went 0 of 2 in a Dec. 4 matchup in Philadelphia, which is the last time he stepped on the court. He has remained around the team during his recovery from sciatica.
The Currys have yet to play together, as Steph Curry was out with an injury during Seth’s two games. Now, it appears that early March is the earliest that could happen.
