Sat Dec 07 03:10:00 UTC 2024: ## Curry and Green Could Return to Warriors Lineup Friday

**SAN FRANCISCO** – Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr announced that Stephen Curry is expected to return to the lineup on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves after missing Thursday’s game due to bilateral knee injury management. There is also a possibility that Draymond Green, who has been sidelined with a tight left calf, could rejoin his teammate on the court.

Curry sat out Thursday’s game against the Houston Rockets as a precautionary measure to manage persistent knee pain. While he showed improved agility in a recent game against Denver, Kerr emphasized the need to prevent a more serious injury by giving him rest. Green also missed Thursday’s game and underwent an MRI on Wednesday, which revealed no significant issues. His participation on Friday remains conditional, but Kerr expressed optimism about his chances.

Both players’ absences were deemed necessary to avoid more extended periods on the sidelines. The Warriors play Minnesota again on Sunday, completing a demanding three-games-in-four-nights stretch. The team is prioritizing the long-term health of its star players.
