Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is closing in on a return after missing three consecutive games due to illness. The two-time MVP sat out matchups against the Sacramento Kings, Denver Nuggets, and Indiana Pacers as the team struggled to find its rhythm without him. Golden State, which started the season strong, has since dropped several contests and is now searching for answers on both ends of the court.
Before Sunday’s home game against Indiana, head coach Steve Kerr confirmed that Curry would remain sidelined but provided a positive update on his recovery. The team’s medical staff opted to take a cautious approach, but signs point toward Curry being ready to rejoin the lineup soon.
Stephen Curry’s return timeline confirmed by Steve Kerr
Speaking before the Pacers game, Steve Kerr told reporters that Stephen Curry is “gonna get a workout in [tonight and tomorrow] and go on the trip.” The Warriors coach added, “We’re hoping he’s able to play in OKC [on Tuesday]. Feeling better, but he hasn’t done much of anything, so we didn’t want to throw him out there tonight.”
Kerr’s statement suggests Curry’s return could come as soon as Tuesday night when the Warriors face the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 36-year-old has already resumed light workouts and is expected to be fully evaluated before the team’s six-game road trip begins.
Curry’s absence has been felt deeply. The Warriors’ offense has lacked flow and shooting consistency, while their younger players have struggled to step up. In their recent 129–104 loss to the Nuggets, Jonathan Kuminga, Brandin Podziemski, and Moses Moody all finished with single-digit scoring. The lack of scoring balance highlighted how critical Curry’s presence is to Golden State’s spacing and energy.

The Warriors have now lost eight straight games without Curry, including playoffs, a streak that reveals just how vital he remains even in his 16th season. Kerr admitted that the team’s biggest issue has been effort and tempo. “I think spacing, pace, and energy were one of our worst crash games of the year,” he said. “We weren’t crashing the offensive glass, we weren’t sprinting back. It was kind of a low-energy game for us.”
Despite their recent setbacks, the Warriors remain confident that a healthy Curry will help them regain momentum. The upcoming matchup against the Thunder could be pivotal — both for the team’s morale and its early-season standing in the Western Conference. The Warriors’ priority is set on getting their leader back on the floor, fully recovered and ready to spark another run.
