Steve Kerr delivered big news on Stephen Curry's availability for the Golden State Warriors' matchup against the Houston Rockets on Sunday night.
Golden State has desperately missed Curry's presence on the court. He was dealing with a knee injury that kept him out for 27 consecutive games, significantly impacting the team's standing in the playoff picture.
While Golden State has locked up a berth for the play-in tournament, they will need Curry's services to have any chance at securing a playoff spot. Kerr provided a major update on Curry, saying he will take part in Golden State's matchup with Houston, per NBA insider Brett Siegel.
“Steve Kerr just said moments ago that Stephen Curry is playing tonight,” Siegel wrote.
“Will be around 25 minutes for Curry tonight in “small bursts,” according to Kerr.”
