Probable for Tuesday
Curry (knee) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Kings.
Analyse
After returning from a 27-game absence due to a right knee issue in Sunday's loss to Houston, Curry is expected to suit up for a second consecutive contest.

Explodes for 29 points in return
Curry (knee) supplied 29 points (11-21 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four assists, two rebounds and one steal across 26 minutes during Sunday's 117-116 loss to the Rockets.
Analyse
Cleared to return after missing the previous 27 games while recovering from right patellofemoral pain syndrome, Curry elected to come off the bench for the first time since the 2011-12 season while the Warriors aimed to manage his minutes. The arrangement worked well, as Curry overcame a slow start to pour in seven points in the second quarter before helping Golden State overcome a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit in the final five minutes. Curry had a chance at a game-winning 30-foot jumper at the buzzer, but the shot was off the mark. The Warriors have one back-to-back set remaining on their schedule during the final week of the regular season, and with Golden State essentially locked in as the No. 10 seed in the Western Conference, Curry will most likely be rested at least once in the next four games.

Coming off bench Sunday night
Curry (knee) will come off the bench for Sunday's game against Houston, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Analyse
Curry will play in his first game since Jan 30. While head coach Steve Kerr already indicated Curry would play in "small bursts," it appears he may see fewer minutes than most anticipate, considering he will come off the bench. It's unknown how long this will be the case, although De'Anthony Melton and Brandin Podziemski may handle most of the work in the backcourt for at least one more game.

Will play Sunday
Head coach Steve Kerr said that Curry (knee) will play in "small bursts" Sunday versus the Rockets, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Analyse
Curry is expected to be limited to 25 minutes in his first game back since Jan. 30, but even with minutes restrictions, the two-time MVP is a must-start option in fantasy leagues. His return should mean fewer minutes for Brandin Podziemski, Gary Payton and Pat Spencer.
4. April 2026
Questionable versus Rockets
Curry (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Houston.
Analyse
Curry is expected to play Sunday. However, as of now, he's officially listed as questionable for the meeting with Houston. Considering Curry hasn't been on the floor since the 131-124 loss to the Pistons on January 30, he will likely be limited Sunday, assuming he gets the green light to suit up. As a result, players like Brandin Podziemski, Gui Santos (pelvis) and Kristaps Porzingis might continue to see expanded roles offensively.

Expected to play Sunday
Curry (knee) is expected to play Sunday against Houston, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Analyse
This has been the expectation for several days now. Curry has been scrimmaging with the Warriors at recent practices, and it sounds like his knee continues to respond well. If he does get the green light to play, it's fair to expect restrictions in his first game back.

Logs another scrimmage
Curry (knee) took part in a scrimmage Thursday and is being considered day-to-day leading up to Sunday's game against the Rockets, Nick Friedell of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
When asked how the sharpshooter looked during Thursday's scrimmage, head coach Steve Kerr said, "He looked good... he looks like Steph Curry," per Friedell. Kerr added that the team expects to make a final call Friday on whether Curry will be cleared to play Sunday, as the training staff will presumably want to ensure he's feeling healthy after his second scrimmage this week.
2. April 2026
Officially out Thursday
Curry (knee) is out for Thursday's game against Cleveland.
Analyse
Curry was previously considered doubtful for this contest. Based on multiple reports, the superstar is targeting a return Sunday against the Rockets if his knee continues to respond well to workouts.
