Stephen Curry has provided a positive update on his recovery from a knee injury, taking a major step toward a potential return to action.
The Golden State Warriors star has been working his way back carefully, with the team closely monitoring his progress. After multiple setbacks in previous attempts, this latest development marks a significant milestone.
Curry has now been cleared to participate in a five-on-five scrimmage. That is often the final hurdle before a return. But even with progress, caution remains key.
Stephen Curry shares an update after returning to scrimmage
Speaking in comments reported by ESPN, Curry reflected on how his knee is responding.
“It felt great. I’m checking the boxes. But with this, it’s always unpredictable because I don’t know how the knee will respond because it hasn’t responded well in the past attempts to get to this five-on-five level,” Curry said.
He added: “I’m right where I need to be for right now and I’m hoping that it continues until the weekend.”
The update highlights both optimism and caution. While Curry has reached an important stage, his past setbacks mean there are still no guarantees.
The focus remains on how his body reacts in the coming days. That response will determine the next step. For now, the signs are encouraging.
Steve Kerr stresses patience in Stephen Curry return timeline
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr also addressed the situation, making it clear the team will not rush the process.
“Gotta see how [his body] responds to the scrimmage and we’ll take it from there,” Curry further stated.
Kerr’s approach reflects the uncertainty that comes with injuries like this. Even positive progress must be carefully managed.
The Warriors are prioritising long-term fitness over short-term gains. That means waiting for consistent responses before making a final call.
Curry’s return is getting closer, but it will depend entirely on how his knee holds up under increased workload. Until then, patience remains the key factor.
