Warriors: When Will Stephen Curry Return from Injury?

Despite missing Stephen Curry for a significant portion of time, the Golden State Warriors have advanced to the Western Conference's fifth seed. The Warriors' star point guard has been missing in action since February 5 after hurting his leg.

Curry should be back in the lineup soon, with various reports expected to come Wednesday, Clutch Points reports.

There is confidence that Steph Curry (left lower leg) could return at some point during the three-game road trip that starts on Sunday against the Lakers, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Warriors will face the Thunder on Tuesday and the Grizzlies on Thursday.

Although the timing was not specified, the Warriors issued an optimistic Stephen Curry injury report.

Warriors GM Bob Myers Says They're Hoping Steph Curry to Come Back on Next Week's Road Trip

Golden State Warriors GM/PBO Bob Myers responded to a story about Stephen Curry's lower left leg injury later that day.

The organization is optimistic that Curry will be able to return during the upcoming road trip.

"I mean, that's the hope," Myers told 95.7. The Game's "Steiny & Guru," according to NBC Sports.

He further stated that they do not have a better answer as they need to know how Curry feels or if he is up to the task.

He also said that Curry has recently practiced with two-on-two and three-on-three games to feel physical contact and get comfortable.

"The smart and real answer, they're going to see how he feels tomorrow, they're going to see how he feels the next day," said Myers, claiming that despite their hopes, they want their star point guard to return when he is fully ready.

Stephen Curry Injury

Stephen Curry has suffered damage to his interosseous membrane and superior tibiofibular ligaments. Muscles in his left lower leg were bruised, and the ligaments connecting the tibia and fibula were partially ripped (sprained).

During an attempt to halt the other team's surge in the third quarter of the February 5 match, Stephen Curry and Mavericks guard McKinley Wright IV may have collided knee to knee.

Due to his leg collapsing, Curry was forced to leave the game and head to the locker room.

A more definite date will be shared later, but Shams Charania said he would be gone for several weeks due to his injuries.

Curry's lack of durability has been a constant problem for him. He missed 11 games early in the season because he had a subluxation in his left shoulder.

Last season, he missed 18 games, and so far this season, he has only performed five times.

He struggled with ankle injuries early in his career but overcame them all to earn All-Star status.

The Golden State Warriors, who have underachieved this season, would be dealt a devastating blow if Stephen Curry's injury is long-term. The Warriors have a 53-game record of 27-26 despite winning the previous year's championship.

Their seventh-place Western Conference berth is in jeopardy if Curry is sidelined for a short time.

They are only 2.5 games ahead of the Lakers in the 13th spot.

Meanwhile, despite losing Stephen Curry for the rest of the game, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Dallas Mavericks 119-113.
