Golden State Warriors fans received a glimmer of hope as Stephen Curry participated in practice following his recent knee injury.
The superstar guard, who sat out a recent loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder due to bilateral knee pain, appears to be on the mend.
Head coach Steve Kerr reported Curry is “feeling better” ahead of their upcoming game at the Phoenix Suns, offering some relief to a team that has navigated through injury challenges this season.
However, despite the positive update, some uncertainty remains throughout the lineup.
“Steph Curry (knee) and Andrew Wiggins (ankle) officially listed as questionable tomorrow in Phoenix. Jonathan Kuminga (illness) and Gary Payton II (adductor) listed as probable,” Anthony Slater of The Athletic wrote ox X.

Curry’s potential absence could create opportunities for other players.
Brandin Podziemski is likely to see an expanded role, with Buddy Hield and Payton also positioned to increase their playing time.
This season, Curry is averaging 22.4 points, 6.5 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game.
His shooting efficiency remains impressive, as he is connecting on 47.5 percent of field goals and making 44.4 percent from 3-point range.
Despite that, the Warriors have hit a rough patch recently. Their solid 12-6 record proves their resilience, but three consecutive losses have raised concerns.
The game against Phoenix presents a critical opportunity to reverse their current trajectory and reassert themselves in the competitive Western Conference.
Heading into the 2024-25 season, the Warriors faced significant uncertainty.
Yet, they have defied expectations, demonstrating adaptability and competitive spirit.
