Golden State Warriors star guard Stephen Curry is making progress in his return from a knee injury and will be re-evaluated in another 10 days, the team announced on Sunday. Curry has been dealing with runner's knee for over a month and has not participated in a game since January 30. The team said a recent re-evaluation of the injury indicated that Curry was making positive strides, but the knee still wasn't feeling right when he returned to practice after the All-Star break.

Why it matters

Curry's return is crucial for the Warriors, who are currently in eighth place in the Western Conference standings and fighting to secure a playoff spot. The team has struggled without their star player on the court, and his presence could provide a much-needed boost as they push for the postseason.

This latest update means that Curry will miss at least five more games before being re-evaluated.
