Coach Steve Kerr said Thursday the 37-year-old two-time Kia MVP is expected to return for Friday’s game against Minnesota (10 p.m. ET, NBA TV) following a five-game absence nursing a left quadriceps contusion and muscle strain. He was not listed on the NBA’s injury report Friday morning.

Although the Golden State Warriors lost to the Timberwolves on Friday, Stephen Curry posted some bonkers numbers.

The Golden State Warriors are widely known for their abundance of talented guards. Fans often joke that the team seem to be more interested in stockpiling backcourt talent than looking for help at forward or centre.

Rudy Gobert had 24 points and 14 rebounds, Donte DiVincenzo made a clutch 3-pointer with 28 seconds remaining and the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Golden State Warriors 127-120.

A viable Golden State Warriors trade pitch would bring together Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler with perennial All-Star center Anthony Davis.

Stephen Curry showed no lingering effects from the quad injury that sidelined him for five games, returning Friday night with a familiar jolt to the Warriors’ offense.

Stephen Curry's return from a five-game absence due to a left quadriceps injury was a rousing success, but it didn't stop the Golden State Warriors' woes.

Stephen Curry got a 100-foot warmup shot on his return night, while Caitlin Clark reacts and couldn't believe it.
