dailyloe.com – Stephen Curry will start for the Golden State Warriors on Friday night against the Sacramento Kings. This marks his first start since injuring his knee on January 30. He returns after a two-month injury layoff.
Curry has played in just two games since his return. He scored 29 points in a loss to Houston on Sunday. He then helped secure a win over Sacramento on Tuesday.
The Warriors rested Curry on Thursday against the Los Angeles Lakers. This decision was merely precautionary. The team did not want him playing twice in two nights.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr announced the starting lineup ahead of tip-off. Curry will start alongside Brandin Podziemski, Gui Santos, Draymond Green and Kristaps Porzingis. Porzingis also returns after missing two games due to illness.
Big man Al Horford is also available for the game. He returns following a month-long absence due to a calf injury. The Warriors face the Kings on the road.
Curry may see increased playing time in this game. He was limited to 25-26 minutes in his first two games back. He could be in line for a heavier workload against Sacramento.
The Warriors are already locked into the No. 10 seed for the play-in tournament. Coach Kerr wants to ramp Curry up in their last remaining games. The team is preparing to fight for an NBA playoff spot.[]
