Seth Curry is gearing up for a potential return to the court, as the Golden State Warriors have upgraded him to questionable for their matchup against the Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena. Curry's been sidelined for eight games due to an adductor strain, adding to a tough season where he's only appeared in four games because of a sciatic injury.
With just eight regular-season games left, this stretch could be pivotal for Curry's career. Last season, he suited up for 68 games with the Charlotte Hornets, albeit with limited minutes, and only played 44 games the year before. The clock is ticking, and Curry knows it.
Despite his limited appearances, Curry has shown flashes of his sharpshooting prowess. In his debut with Golden State in December, he scored 14 points on an impressive 6-of-7 shooting.
He followed that up with a 13-point performance against the Utah Jazz, hitting 4-of-6 in just 12 minutes. These glimpses suggest that when healthy, Curry remains a valuable asset.
However, the Warriors face a dilemma. With key players like Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody starting next season with injuries, can they afford to gamble on Curry's availability? If he can play against the Nuggets and manage at least six more games, including a potential Play-In Tournament, Curry could make a compelling case for a new contract, whether with Golden State or another team.
Curry isn't the only Warrior eyeing a return. Quinten Post has also been upgraded to questionable after battling a foot injury.
As he approaches restricted free agency, Post is eager to prove his worth. With Al Horford out, Post could see some valuable minutes.
He recently dropped a career-high 22 points against the Knicks, but consistency has been elusive in his second year.
Meanwhile, Will Richard's status is up in the air due to heel soreness, but De'Anthony Melton is expected to return after missing the recent win over the Wizards. As the Warriors navigate these final games, every player's contribution will be crucial in shaping their postseason fate and future roster decisions.
