Anthony Slater: The Warriors have ruled Steph Curry out of the next two games (tonight and at Mavericks on Monday), but he will be incorporated into live practice in coming days. Evaluated again when they return home on Tuesday. GSW starts homestand on Wednesday vs Nets.

Nick Friedell: “The only reason Steph would not return this year is because that knee still isn’t right. But the feeling and hope within the organization right now is that it will be, and that we’ll see him at some point in the next couple of weeks.”

Beyond his accomplishments in Charlotte as a player, Dell Curry is a television analyst with the Hornets and Amazon Prime, and he has been an ambassador and special adviser for the franchise. “It means the world because the Hornets’ No. 30, pinstripes, Charlotte and Dell Curry are pretty synonymous in terms of what he did as the original Hornet,” Stephen Curry told Andscape. “Ten years playing there, what he’s done as a broadcaster, in the community and all that. Charlotte is our home. I was there in 2016 and they honored him. And then 10 years later, he was going into rafters. “It’s special for our whole family. We call him the originator. And me and Seth are able to do this because of him. He set the foundation. So, one, to have it happen and, two, to be able to be there and see it in person, I’m so excited.”

Said Seth Curry, Warriors and former Hornets guard, to Andscape: “It’s a big deal. He and the Hornets and the city of Charlotte are kind of synonymous when it comes to basketball. Obviously, with him being the first Hornet, it just represents all he has done for that organization being a part of it for so long. And then obviously, this even makes it even cool that I was actually the last person to wear No. 30 for the Hornets [2024-25 season]. So, it’s huge for that to live up in the rafters forever.”

Anthony Slater: Steve Kerr felt Warriors didn’t come with proper preparation in Boston. “We’re going to be in the play-in.” He admitted seven seed isn’t obtainable, eighth seed would be ideal, but they’ll need to prep and execute better to lay foundation before Steph Curry returns.

Shams Charania: There is cautious optimism that Stephen Curry will return to the lineup at some point by the end of the month, and that's after I'm told he had a strong on court workout Tuesday afternoon in Boston. Starting to run. Cut move. Takes some slight contact like the Stephen Curry again that we know. The most important part, though, is he's not experiencing the swelling that he's had over the last several weeks or a month ago when he needed to get a PRP injection, from my understanding, due to those knee issues. So now it's about him building on this conditioning, getting more and more comfort in that knee before he's able to make the call to make it back on the court.

There is no doubt that Warriors star Steph Curry is the greatest shooter the game of basketball has ever seen. But for one of Curry’s newest teammates in Golden State, Kristaps Porziņģis, the two-time NBA MVP is at an even greater level. “Oh man, this is the GOAT, you know what I mean,” Porziņģis told NBC Sports Bay Area’s Bonta Hill, Chris Mullin and Festus Ezeli Monday on “Warriors Postgame Live.” “To play with somebody like that, it’s going to be unbelievable. Obviously, from playing against him, I know what type of a player he is. And [with] the gravity he brings, it just opens everything up for everybody else. So, hopefully he will be back with us soon.”

Nick DePaula: Stephen Curry arrives in the “Howard” Air Jordan 1s tonight in DC. Curry has helped to fund both the men’s & women’s Howard Golf teams since 2019, helping return the program to Division 1 play after a 50 year hiatus.

While many around the Bay expect and might even want the Warriors to shut him down, coach Steve Kerr confirmed to NBA on NBC's Bob Costas before the game that Curry will be back at some point during the 2025-26 NBA season. "Well, we expect him back," Kerr said. "He's trending in the right direction. It's been a tricky injury. I think he'll be back for sure. We just don't know if it's going to be a week or two or whatever. It's a day-to-day process."

Steph Curry: “The ability to develop a baseline for basketball IQ—what does that even mean? There’s an epidemic in that respect. I also feel like kids should be allowed to play multiple sports and just be kids for as long as they can before it turns into a business mentality. I think the culture around it has shifted in the wrong direction. I played multiple sports until I was 13, and then I figured out what I wanted to do and what I loved. What I gained from playing multiple sports—the physical skill sets, hand-eye coordination, different footwork, being around different people, and different demands on my body—has only helped me in basketball. I think a lot of people are trying to solve it, knowing we need as much homegrown talent as possible representing the highest levels of basketball.”

Nick Friedell: Kerr is hopeful Draymond Green will play tomorrow vs. Wizards. Kristaps Porzingis and De’Anthony Melton are expected to play in DC as well. Steph Curry is on this trip. Kerr says he continues to trend in the right direction — still just doing individual work though.

Speaking to The Athletic’s Marcus Thompson during a wide-ranging interview on The Athletic Show alongside his father, Dell Curry, Steph Curry said his body will ultimately determine when it’s time to step away from the game. “I think your body is the first point of information,” Curry said before his recent bout with runner’s knee. “Just what it takes to get ready for a game is a lot different now than it was a decade ago. When I’m out there on the court right now, I still get lost in the fun. It’s still my happy place. All the work is worth it because I get to go out there and hoop at the highest level. The competition, the camaraderie, the chasing something that matters — that still gets me going. And I don’t see that stopping anytime soon.”

“I had that perspective that I had to be the most well-conditioned,” Curry said. “Even if I didn’t really know how to maximize at the time, it was always kind of a thought and there was a priority to it. So it’s one of my favorite compliments that I get in the middle of a game. Somebody guard me at a free-throw dead-ball or something. We stand next to each other come and be like, ‘Yo, stop moving so much.'”
