It appears that Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is making great progress in his recovery from an adductor strain he suffered on November 8 against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Stephen Curry has missed the last eight games, but he could return to the team soon. According to the latest update by the Warriors, the two-time league MVP has a goal of playing during the Dubs' upcoming five-game road trip.

On the season, Curry is averaging 29.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 6.1 assists while shooting 51.5 percent from the field, 49.2 percent from beyond the arc and 92.3 percent from the free-throw line. Golden State needs their star back as soon as possible, with the Bay Area team going 3-5 in their last eight games without their star sharpshooter.
The Warriors have an offensive rating of 124.4 when Curry is on the court. That rating drops to 114.0 when he is not playing. Golden State defeated the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday, snapping a four-game losing streak. It was the first four-game losing streak in the Steve Kerr era.
Curry got into an accident on Friday, but he was not injured. The Warriors host the Sacramento Kings and Orlando Magic before they embark on their five-game road trip. Golden State will face off against the Toronto Raptors, Detroit Pistons, Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers and Milwaukee Bucks during their road trip.
