Stephen Curry\u2019s Rehab Progress Likely Sets Up Late-March Return<\/h2>\n

Here’s some good news for Dub Nation: their franchise star is trending toward a return near the end of March.<\/p>\n

The Warriors are reportedly optimistic as Curry continues to make progress in his rehabilitation from a knee injury. While the team has remained cautious with the return of its starting point guard, the latest developments finally offer encouraging signs in the Bay. And it comes at a crucial time, as Golden State looks for its leader for help during the final stretch of the season.<\/p>\n

Latest Update on Curry\u2019s Recovery<\/span><\/h3>\n

Curry has appeared in just 39 of the Warriors’ 69 games this season as the team continues to navigate a difficult 2025-26 campaign. To make matters worse, the four-time champion has been sidelined for the last 19 games, which have been a crucial period for the franchise. Fortunately for The Bay Area franchise, he looks poised for an imminent return.<\/p>\n

ESPN’s Shams Charania shared the latest on Curry yesterday, saying he’s been progressing well with on-court drills.<\/span><\/div>\n

Charania<\/span> adds that the process for Curry and the Warriors is ongoing, saying: “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.”<\/span><\/p>\n

A positive sign in Curry’s rehabilitation is the lack of swelling and discomfort in his knee, which had previously prevented him from returning<\/a> after All-Star weekend. He is set to be re-evaluated on March 21, with hopes of bringing even better news to the team and fans.<\/p>\n

Positive Signs Emerging<\/span><\/h3>\n

With encouraging signs in his recovery, Curry has already resumed on-court workouts and even put up shots<\/a> ahead of the Celtics game. Yet, Golden State has been playing it safe with their iconic leader. <\/span><\/p>\n
