Curry practices; Warriors optimistic he'll play Fri.
Written by I Dig Sports
NEW ORLEANS -- Golden State star Stephen Curry returned to practice and is listed as questionable to return from a pelvic contusion against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday.
Coach Steve Kerr said the Warriors scrimmaged for six minutes and that Curry participated and looked good. Curry also went through an individual workout after practice, and the team will see how he feels Friday.
"He looked really good," Kerr said. "He is going to go through his individual workout like he did the other day. That is where he can really feel and test certain things.
"I am optimistic [he will return Friday]."
Curry has missed the past two games since crashing to the floor and suffering the pelvic contusion in last Thursday's win over Toronto. Without Curry, the Warriors opened their six-game road trip with losses at Atlanta and Miami.
Curry rejoined the team in Miami and went through a non-scrimmage practice Monday. Afterward, he went through an individual workout and Kerr said Curry felt something on a certain move.
Guard Brandin Podziemski said Curry "looked fine" during Thursday's scrimmage.
"I hope he plays tomorrow. We obviously could use him," Podziemski said. "But we rather have him be 100% healthy instead of rushing him back."
