Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has announced that he expects star point guard Stephen Curry to return to action on Friday, March 28, 2025, when the team faces the New Orleans Pelicans. Curry has been sidelined due to a pelvic contusion sustained during the Warriors’ game against the Toronto Raptors.
Curry, 37, has been pivotal to the Warriors’ success this season, averaging 24.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 6 assists per game. His absence has been keenly felt, especially during the team’s recent road trip, which included losses to the Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat. The Warriors have been cautious with Curry’s recovery, aiming to ensure he returns at full strength.
In his most recent workout, Curry experienced discomfort after a particular movement, leading the team to exercise caution and hold him out of the game against Miami. Kerr stated, “He worked out individually after practice Monday, but ‘didn’t just quite feel right’ after one movement he made toward the end of the workout.”
The Warriors have a demanding schedule ahead, with their next game against the Pelicans followed by matchups against the San Antonio Spurs, Memphis Grizzlies, and Los Angeles Lakers. Curry’s return will be crucial as the team strives to maintain their position in the Western Conference standings and secure a favorable playoff seed.
While Curry’s absence has posed challenges, the Warriors have found some solace in the struggles of their Western Conference rivals, which has slightly mitigated the impact of his sidelining. However, the team remains optimistic about Curry’s impending return and the boost it will provide as they enter the final stretch of the regular season.
