Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry is likely to return to action on Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies, according to coach Steve Kerr.
“I doubt he’ll play tomorrow with a back-to-back,” Kerr said after practice on Thursday. “I don’t think it would make much sense, but I think he’s probably going to want to. But it’s more likely he plays Saturday. If all goes well, I expect him to play Saturday.
Hear from @SteveKerr as he talks competitive drive & more after today’s practice.
