The Golden State Warriors will have their All-Star point guard Stephen Curry back in the starting lineup tonight against the Atlanta Hawks, according to Mark Medina of the San Jose Mercury News.
Curry had missed the team's last six games, only playing the opening two minutes against the San Antonio Spurs after rolling his ankle of Dejounte Murray's foot after getting fouled on a drive to the rim.
The Warriors have sorely missed their leading scorer, losing four of their last six games after he suffered the injury, with Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, and Draymond Green making consequent trips to the bench with injuries of their own.
Curry had progressed with no setbacks after first being ruled out for the next two games, then getting a re-evaluation earlier this week which had listed him as probable to return.
Head coach Steve Kerr noted his ankle was as close to 100 percent as it could get, noting the full health of it would likely not come until he gets a summer-long rest.
This will put an end to Quinn Cook's streak of three straight 20-point games, who filled in admirably at the position while the Warriors sustained a slew of injuries as of late.
