In Sunday’s 117-116 loss to the Houston Rockets, Curry returned and scored 29 points in 26 minutes, coming off the bench on a minutes restriction. Even in limited minutes he immediately looked like the engine of the Warriors’ offense again.

Why Steph Curry’s Injury Status Matters So Much

Curry’s probable designation is bigger than a standard day-to-day note because the Warriors are still clearly managing his comeback. In his first game back, he did not start and played only 26 minutes, which suggests Golden State is being deliberate with his workload after such a long absence.

The Kings game is a meaningful test because it is one thing for Curry to return in a feel-good moment and another to stack healthy appearances on consecutive outings. If he plays Tuesday, it would signal that Golden State believes his knee is stable enough for a normal end-of-season push, even if his minutes are still monitored.

For the Warriors, the best outcome is not just that Curry plays, but that he starts to build rhythm again before the postseason begins. Sunday already showed he can still produce at a high level right away. The next step is seeing whether he can handle the day-to-day demands of game action without setback.

Having Steph Curry back changes their confidence level, spacing, pace, and late-game shot creation. As they hold the 10th seed in the Western Conference and look to try to not only gain momentum into the NBA Play-In tournament, but also advance their seeding, having Curry on the court again for this matchup will help them achieve this.
