Curry s return schedule is confirmed, expected

Stephen Curry suffered a first-degree tendon strain in the first game when he played against the Timberwolves in the second round of the 2024-25 season, which also caused the Golden State Warriors to lose their opponents in the second game of the series. According to the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry will be absent for at least one week to recover.

You should know that the playoffs are also one game the next day, which for the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry will basically miss the second, third and fourth playoff games in the second round. However, according to ESPN's NBA insider Shams Charania, Stephen Curry may be out for a longer time.

NBA insider Shams Charania said, "He really can only receive treatment. He will be re-evaluated on Wednesday, which means he will definitely be absent. He missed Game 2, Game 3, Game 4, so he will miss at least three games."

"My understanding is that for Stephen Curry, it will not be a result until Game 6 at the earliest."

In fact, Stephen Curry's comeback schedule is something that many people can guess. However, it depends on the Golden State Warriors' record. If the Golden State Warriors lead 3-2, the Golden State Warriors will not let Stephen Curry come back in the sixth game, and they will choose to get Stephen Curry back in the tiebreak.

If you fall behind 1-3 or 2-3, you must make a comeback early. There is four days between Game 5 and Game 6, so what the Golden State Warriors need to do is to drag the game into Game 6 or Game 7 best. However, the Golden State Warriors hope to eliminate their opponents 4-1, which will give Stephen Curry more time to recover.

Now, the Golden State Warriors are led by Jimmy Butler. During the trading window of the 2024-25 season, the Golden State Warriors took Jimmy Butler to a 2-year, $121 million super maximum salary contract. Under the leadership of Jimmy Butler, the team won more than they lost, from 10th in the West and advanced to 7th in the West. In the playoffs, he successfully defeated the Houston Rockets through the tiebreak battle and advanced to the second round.

Golden State Warriors need Jimmy Butler to continue to stand up and lead the Warriors to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves and advance to the Western Conference Finals. After all, LeBron James and Kevin Durant have ended the 2024-25 season ahead of schedule. Stephen Curry is now the most watched veteran. The outside world is curious whether Stephen Curry can win the championship again and prove himself.
