Will Steph Curry return for Warriors to face the Suns?
Stephen Curry has missed the past 11 games due to a left shoulder subluxation, and the Warriors have gone 6-5 during that stretch.
The Golden State Warriors are set to receive a handy reinforcement on Tuesday as future Hall-of-Famer Stephen Curry prepares to return from an 11-game absence, a couple of days ahead of schedule.
Warriors need some hot Curry
Curry has not played since suffering a left shoulder subluxation against the Indiana Pacers on December 14, and after dropping three of the first four games without their two-time MVP, they steadied the ship and went 6-5.
The reigning NBA Finals MVP is averaging 30.0 points, 6.8 assists and a career-high 6.6 rebounds per game while shooting a blistering 43.4 per cent on a gaudy 11.6 three-point attempts per contest. After starting the season 3-7, the Warriors have recovered to 20-20, and should be at close to full strength when they take on the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday following the return of starting wing Andrew Wiggins on Saturday.
The Warriors currently occupy the seventh seed in the congested Western Conference, only one game behind the fifth-seeded Sacramento Kings (20-18), but also only a half-game ahead of the 10th-seeded Portland Trail Blazers (19-20).
