Steph back in the Warriors lineup after a three-game absence originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Steph Curry’s latest ankle injury absence lasted only one week.
The Warriors’ superstar guard will return to the starting lineup Monday against the Washington Wizards, Golden State coach Steve Kerr told reporters 90 minutes before tipoff at Capital One Arena.
Kerr would not reveal the other four starters along with Curry.
Curry has missed the last three games since sustaining a left peroneal strain in the The loss of Warriors to the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday, October 27.
The Warriors’ medical staff reevaluated Curry on Friday and the team said he was making good progress but ruled him out for Saturday’s game in Houston.
Curry is averaging 18.3 points, 6.7 assists and 5.3 rebounds in three games this season.
The Warriors have won all three games Curry has missed, and now they’re getting him back for a tough stretch after the game against the Wizards. Golden State finishes the road trip against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday, the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday and the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday before returning to host Klay Thompson and the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday.
