“Everything about it was awesome,” Curry told ClutchPoints. “The moment, getting ready for playoffs, being out four weeks, every step has been in the right direction in terms of trying to get back out there, and I've never enjoyed practice so much.”

The Warriors struggled severely in Curry’s absence but got it together to end the regular season. Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole torched the competition and won the final five games. The team's final record was 53-29, giving them the third seed in the playoffs.
Curry on the court with Thompson and Poole is a thought that has Warriors fans drooling. There's a possibility to see the three talented scorers in the starting lineup together. If not, it definitely will be times they are all on the floor together.
It's a lineup the Nuggets have yet to see, and it could be a plot twist that they can't prepare for by Saturday. The Warriors are confident heading into this matchup, and we could know very soon if Curry will be playing in game 1.
