Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors has missed more than two months of action.<\/p>\n

The Golden State Warriors<\/a> are expected to welcome back Steph Curry<\/a> on Sunday against the Houston Rockets<\/a> after missing the last two months due to injury.<\/p>\n

Curry has not played since January 30 after getting diagnosed with a runner\u2019s knee that has kept him out of the Warriors\u2019 last 27 games.<\/p>\n

However, Golden State\u2019s injury woes continued, with the team making a huge injury announcement ahead of the Rockets matchup.<\/p>\n

Quinten Post\u2019s Recovery Timeline\"Stephen<\/a><\/p>\n

The Warriors\u2019 second-year big man Quinten Post<\/a> has been in and out of the lineup since the beginning of March due to a right foot injury. Post played in just eight of the team\u2019s last 17 games since March 1.<\/p>\n

The Dutch center has missed the last two games after exiting the Warriors\u2019 116-93 loss to the Denver Nuggets<\/a> on March 29. He has been dealing with right foot soreness and could miss the rest of the regular season.<\/p>\n

ESPN\u2019s Marc J. Spears<\/a> reported on Saturday that Post is making progress in his right foot injury. He will be re-evaluated next week, which puts him available for the regular-season finale on April 12 against the Los Angeles Clippers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWarriors say center Quinten Post, who did not play in Thursday\u2019s game vs. Cleveland due to right foot soreness, is making good progress. He will continue with daily rehabilitation and light on-court workouts and will be re-evaluated again next week,\u201d Spears tweeted.<\/p>\n

In addition to Post, the Warriors have also ruled out<\/a> Jimmy Butler<\/a>, Al Horford<\/a>, and Moses Moody<\/a>. Seth and Steph Curry are questionable, while Gui Santos<\/a> is probable. The Curry bros, as well as Santos, are all likely to get upgraded to available before tip-off.<\/p>\n

Warriors Sign Backup Center<\/p>\n

After his second 10-day contract with the Boston Celtics<\/a> expired, the Warriors are signing center Charles Bassey<\/a> to a 10-day contract, as first reported by HoopsHype\u2019s Michael Scotto<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bassey played for the San Antonio Spurs<\/a> in the past three seasons before becoming a free agent last summer. He has split his time with the Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> and Memphis Grizzlies<\/a> this season.<\/p>\n

The Golden State Warriors plan to sign Charles Bassey to a deal, league sources told @hoopshype<\/a>. Bassey has averaged 4.2 points on 63% shooting from the field and 4.2 rebounds in 10.8 minutes during five NBA seasons combined with the 76ers, Spurs, Grizzlies, and Celtics. <\/p>\n

With Post out until next week, Bassey provides Golden State with a reliable option at center. Malevy Leons<\/a> is playing admirably, but he\u2019s also dealing with a wrist injury in his shooting hand.<\/p>\n

Curry Calls Injury New Normal<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Curry opened up about his injury and the rigorous rehab process he had to undergo. He called his injury a \u201cnew normal\u201d for him because there was nothing wrong with the structure of his right knee.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s nothing structurally wrong with my knee,\u201d Curry said, via NBC Sports Bay Area<\/a>. \u201cSo, it\u2019s not like I\u2019m compromised out there. It is a new normal, though, if that makes sense. It\u2019s just a matter of understanding what I need to do off the court to make sure everything around my knee is strong and firing the right way.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two-time MVP added that he\u2019s going to use the offseason to further strengthen his right knee. He called this summer a reset for his body after an injury-filled season.<\/p>\n
