Stephen Curry Cleared for On-Court Workouts, Eyes Return Against Lakers

The Golden State Warriors star's recovery progresses, with his potential return boosting the team's play-in tournament hopes.

Stephen Curry has been cleared to resume on-court workouts after spraining his right ankle and is expected to rejoin the Golden State Warriors for practice in Los Angeles on Friday.
Curry missed games against the San Antonio Spurs and will also miss the upcoming game against the Dallas Mavericks, but could potentially return for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Warriors are currently 10th in the Western Conference, trailing the Lakers by one game and the Mavericks by 2.5 games, with Curry's return seen as crucial for their play-in tournament hopes.
Curry's season averages remain strong, with 26.9 points, 4.9 assists, and 4.4 rebounds per game, despite a recent dip in shooting efficiency.
The Warriors have a record of 1-4 without Curry this season, but managed to secure their first win without him against the Spurs on Monday.
