Stephen Curry appears to be trending in the right direction, as Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has upgraded the star point guard’s status to “questionable” for Game 4.
There has been very little optimism regarding Curry’s availability for Game 4, as Kerr said over the weekend Curry was doubtful and only had a “slight chance” of playing. At the very least, Curry has not suffered any setbacks.
Steve Kerr says Stephen Curry is questionable for tonight. No more issues have cropped up in last 24 hours. Decision to be made later today.

It still seems unlikely that Curry will play Monday, but the questionable tag should be considered good news for his Game 5 outlook.
Curry, who will reportedly take home his second consecutive NBA MVP award this year, suffered a sprained MCL (video here) in Golden State’s opening-round series against the Houston Rockets. The Warriors jumped out to a 2-0 series lead over the Trail Blazers, but Portland has a chance to even the series at 2-2 on Monday after taking Game 3.
If the Warriors take a 3-1 series lead back to Golden State, they might be more cautious with Curry.
