The Warriors first hoped Stephen Curry would return last month after the NBA’s All-Star break, hoping again he’d scrimmage Sunday on an off-day in Atlanta in advance of a return, but to no avail. Green said if Curry has “an inkling of doubt” about the health of his right knee, he shouldn’t play, “but if he’s healthy and he can play” then “absolutely” he should play. “That’s what you put the work in for,” continued Green, Curry’s teammate of 14 years. “You put the work in to give yourself a chance to have a great season. To get into the postseason. To flourish on that stage. You don’t know how many opportunities you get. You can always kick the can down the road and say, ‘Oh man. We’ll get back at it.’ But that don’t always work like that.”
