The Golden State Warriors are taking on the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night, and they will have superstar point guard Steph Curry available. Curry has missed some time this season with a knee sprain, but has not seemed to have any issues since returning from that injury, which is a great sign for the Warriors.
Golden State has hit a bit of a skid lately, which was aided by Curry’s absence and Draymond Green’s suspension, but the Warriors’ issues have been more complex than those two being out of the lineup for some of these games.
Looking to get on track, the Warriors have an opportunity to do so against the worst team in the Western Conference. While the Spurs have a young rookie phenom in Victor Wembanyama, that has not resulted in many wins so far, as San Antonio sits just 3-12 through 15 games.
At just 7-9 on the year, Golden State has some serious catching up to do if they want to reenter the top of the playoff picture, which is where they expect to be. That said, it is still very early in the season, as just 2.5 games separate the 11th seed from the 5th seed.
With Curry back healthy, the Warriors will look to gather a little bit of momentum which has been hard to come by to start the season.
