The Golden State Warriors appear close to getting star guard Stephen Curry back in the fold.
Warriors general manager Bob Myers said Wednesday that Curry will be re-evaluated this weekend and that the team is targeting a January 13 return for the star guard. That would coincide with the start of the team’s next road trip.
Bob Myers just told @SteinyGuru957 they're hoping Steph Curry will be back for the first game of the Warriors road trip vs. Spurs on Jan. 13:
“He’s going to be re-evaluated this weekend. He’s working out on the court… There’s been no setbacks.” 👀🤞

If Curry makes his return on the stated date, he will have missed about a month of action. That is more or less in line with the expectation of a few weeks out when the injury was initially diagnosed.
The Warriors have actually picked things up a bit, going 6-3 in the nine games Curry has missed so far. They will play three more times before the start of the road trip, so they will more or less maintain at least a .500 pace without their star guard. That is as good as the Warriors could have hoped for, and they remain in the Western Conference mix despite a disappointing start to the year.
