When the Golden State Warriors report an injury, it’s typically terrible news. This time, Bob Myers provided the information that the fans had been waiting to hear for weeks: Steph Curry’s return date.

The Warriors announced on December 24thĀ that Curryās partially-dislocated shoulder would be re-evaluated in two weeks, and thatās this upcoming Saturday. That should determine the exact timetable, but as of now, the team is hoping Curry returns when they begin a five-game road trip next Friday against theĀ San Antonio Spurs.
On 95.7 The Game, Myers told hostsĀ Matt Steinmetz & Daryle āThe Guruā JohnsonĀ that Curry ālooks like the same guyā out on the practice court, except heās wearing a sleeve on his shoulder. Curry still isnāt doing any practicing with contact, but that might change after this weekend. The important update is that Curry has had no setbacks in his rehab. Even through frantic cheerleading on the sidelines wearing a series of heavy jackets, his shoulder held up to the waving, jumping, exhorting, and celebrating Curry goes through every night.
But you donāt have to take Bob Myersā word for it. Steve Kerr also said he thought next Friday was a reasonable target date for Curry.
Steve Kerr confirms that Jan. 13 at San Antonio is a realistic target date for Steph Curry's return: "I think so. He's progressed really well." Bob Myers went on @957thegame today and indicated the same.

Of course, all of this depends on Curry not catching whatever nightmare illness is keeping Andrew Wiggins off the court, or getting near JaMychal Greenās infected leg, or standing near James Wiseman, since Wisemanās liable to trip, step on a rake, fall down stairs while holding a giant cake, accidentally walk through two guys holding a giant pane of glass, or step into a discarded roller skate and go careening through the practice facility on one leg, frantically pinwheeling his arms and yelling, āThis was a BAD idea!ā at literally any moment.
Kerr added that they expect Wiggins back soon, maybe evenĀ as early as Saturday against Orlando. Which is just in time, since Anthony Lamb and Ty Jerome are quickly using up the 50 games of NBA eligibility theyāre allowed on two-way deals.
But Curryās imminent return is the big news. Itās very kind of Coach Kerr to bring Steph back against his old mentor, Gregg Popovich, in order to help the Spursā season-long tanking effort for French phenom Victor Wembanyama.
