Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry is apparently feeling better after being a late scratch from Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.
Curry is participating in the Dubs' practice on Monday, per Marc Stein of The New York Times.
It was a strange scene on Saturday.
Curry went through warmups and essentially looked ready to go before being escorted to the locker room. The Warriors said he simply was not feeling well, and it eventually became clear the late scratch did not have anything to do with the league's health and safety protocols. Still, it was unknown whether Curry would be a go for the team's matchup with the New York Knicks on Tuesday.
Participating in practice is a good sign Curry will make his return to the floor Tuesday. Golden State fared decently against the Hornets even without Steph, but imploded when Draymond Green received a pair of late technicals and Charlotte guard Terry Rozier buried a game-winning jumper. Curry will hope to get the Dubs back on track.
The Baby-Faced Assassin is a legitimate MVP candidate. Curry is averaging 29.9 points, 6.2 assists and 5.4 rebounds while shooting 42.3 percent from beyond the arc on a career-high 11.9 attempts per game.
For context, Curry's 65.3 true shooting percentage is the third-best of his career. He has also had to deal with constant double-teams as Golden State's most dangerous scorer and playmaker.
The 32-year-old has done everything in his power to keep the Warriors in playoff position. Golden State will hope Curry is available for Tuesday's matchup with the Knicks.
