Curry Set to Return vs. Rockets After Two-Month Knee Layoff

San Francisco, April 6 — After more than two months sidelined by a right‑knee injury, Stephen Curry is slated to re‑enter the Warriors’ rotation Sunday night against the Houston Rockets. The All‑Star guard will see roughly 25 minutes of action, coming off the bench in the first half, per reports from the team’s medical staff and Coach Steve Kerr.

Return timeline

Curry last played on Jan. 30, exiting early with a lingering knee issue that forced a prolonged rehab. The Warriors had hoped for a quicker comeback, but doctors advised caution. This Sunday marks his first competitive minutes since the injury, and the lineup will be adjusted to limit strain while still giving him a chance to reacclimate.

Playoff implications

Golden State, hovering near the Western Conference cut line, view Curry’s return as a catalyst for a final push into the postseason. Kerr has repeatedly emphasized the guard’s ability to stretch defenses and create scoring opportunities for teammates. If Curry can rediscover his rhythm, the Warriors could solidify a play‑in berth and avoid a grueling end‑of‑season scramble.

The game will be televised nationally, offering fans their first glimpse of Curry’s post‑injury form in over 60 games.
