The Golden State Warriors have struggled with the absence of their star Stephen Curry, but everything points to the wait ending<\/a> for Sunday\u2019s NBA regular-season game against the Houston Rockets. Curry commented on how he felt about finally nearing a return.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels great,\u201d Curry said of the patellofemoral pain syndrome and bone bruising in his right knee that sidelined him for the past 27 games. \u201cIt\u2019s been a long, long process, longer than I thought. But just happy to have a little clarity and a little window to get back out there and try to get to the level I was playing at and finish the year strong. I\u2019m excited.\u201d<\/p>\n

After 64 days of reorganizing injury timelines, reconfiguring recovery plans, and passing physical checkpoints, Stephen Curry is finally ready to return to the Golden State Warriors<\/a>. He was listed as questionable for the game against the Rockets.<\/p>\n

Curry\u2019s presence likely for Sunday<\/p>\n

Curry will be listed as questionable for Sunday\u2019s matchup with the Houston Rockets<\/a>, but the plan is for him to play, according to coach Steve Kerr.<\/p>\n

Stephen Curry #30 of the Golden State Warriors reacts.<\/p>\n

Regardless, Curry\u2019s likely return marks a much-needed boost for the Warriors. With Curry sidelined, Golden State went 9-18, dropping from the eighth seed in the West to 10th, where they will need to win two play-in games to save their season. Curry\u2019s recovery process, however, has been just as frustrating as the team\u2019s struggles.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought I was going to be out for like, a week, 10 days max. Let it calm down,\u201d Curry<\/a> explained. \u201cAnd every time I got on the court or tried to push it in that first month, there was always, they call it, a reaction, or you knew it just wasn\u2019t healing as fast as you thought.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo the patience then was tough, just because it\u2019s one of those injuries that you really just have to let rest. There\u2019s nothing you can kind of push through or be on the court while it\u2019s healing, and it\u2019s just a different experience than most injuries that I\u2019ve had.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Golden State Warriors have struggled with the absence of their star Stephen Curry, but everything points to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":698994,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3794],"tags":[7,164,292,194,4066,6,86329,211,573],"class_list":{"0":"post-698993","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-houston-rockets","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-golden-state-warriors","10":"tag-houston","11":"tag-houston-rockets","12":"tag-houstonrockets","13":"tag-nba","14":"tag-nomsn","15":"tag-rockets","16":"tag-stephen-curry"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/698993","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=698993"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/698993\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/698994"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=698993"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=698993"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=698993"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
