Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry, who has missed the last 20 games with a knee injury, is nearing a return to practice and will rejoin the team on the court 'in the coming days,' according to the latest update from the Warriors. Curry has been making 'good progress' in his recovery and has 'intensified' his individual workouts, setting the stage for his return to live action.

Why it matters

Curry's return will be a major boost for the Warriors, who have struggled in his absence, falling to 33-36 and the 10th spot in the Western Conference standings. The two-time MVP's scoring punch and playmaking ability are crucial to the team's success, and his presence on the court should help the Warriors climb back up the standings and secure a playoff berth.

The details

Curry, who last played on January 30, has been out with inflammation in his right knee. The Warriors said he will not return to game action until the team returns home from their current six-game road trip, but he is expected to rejoin team practices 'in the coming days.' The team also provided an update on Moses Moody, who has missed the past nine games with a sprained right wrist. Moody is also set to return to practice soon after intensifying his on-court work.
