Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is still rehabbing from surgery to repair a broken hand he suffered back in October.
On Wednesday, head coach Steve Kerr gave an update on Curry's status, saying that he has been getting more conditioning as of late:
“He's jumped into a few of our non-contact, offensive 5-on-0 stuff,” said Kerr, via Anthony Slater of The Athletic. “But he's coming around. We'll have another update I guess, a more thorough update, on March 1. But right now, everything is going smoothly and he's just trying to build his conditioning base and keep getting better.”
Kerr added that there were no plans to get Curry into contract drills before March 1. The Warriors star has said he's aiming for a return in early March.
Curry struggled in the four games he played this season, averaging 20.3 points, 6.5 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals over 28.0 minutes per game while shooting 40.9 percent from the floor, 24.3 percent from 3-point range and 100 percent from the free-throw line.
Of course, that is an incredibly small sample size, and Curry's numbers almost surely would have leveled out had he remained healthy.
The 31-year-old is in his 11th NBA season and will miss out on All-Star festivities for the first time since 2013.
Curry won back-to-back league MVP awards in 2015 and 2016, also capturing the NBA scoring title in the latter year after registering 30.1 points per game.
The sharpshooter is also not the only key member of the Warriors' backcourt sidelined due to injury, as fellow guard Klay Thompson has been recovering from a torn ACL he suffered during last year's NBA Finals.
