Warriors waiting to decide when Steph Curry, Kristaps Porzingis will return to court
- On Wednesday, Kerr will decide after practice if Stephen Curry and Kristaps Porzingis can play Thursday in Boston.
- Curry is sidelined by runner's knee, missing Golden State's last five games, while Porzingis has not played since Jan. 7 due to Achilles tendinitis.
- In 39 games, Curry is averaging 27.2 points and leads the NBA with 4.5 3-pointers per game and a 93.1% free-throw percentage, while prior to the break he practiced 3-on-3 and 5-on-5 and trained with the Warriors training staff.
- The Warriors are 29-26 and need Curry's two‑way impact to improve playoff positioning, making his return immediately consequential.
- Balancing caution and urgency, Kerr said Porzingis showed scoring skills but needs game-like settings, while Curry is expected to return later this week if he passes practice evaluations.
