Out again for Friday\u2019s matchup with the Washington Wizards at Chase Center, Curry was evaluated again and \u201ccontinues to make good progress,\u201d the Warriors announced. There isn\u2019t a set return-to-play date for the ailing 17th-year guard, who is expected to work toward a five-on-five scrimmage in the coming days, the team announced. Curry is due for another evaluation this coming week and is set to miss Sunday\u2019s\u00a0matchup with the Denver Nuggets\u00a0\u2014 meaning he\u2019ll miss at least 25 consecutive games.<\/p>\n

Curry hasn\u2019t played since Jan. 30, when he left the third quarter of a loss to the Detroit Pistons with right kneecap soreness. The pain for Curry emerged Jan. 24 during a workout in Minneapolis. He played through it for three games before his lengthy shutdown. Speaking pregame Friday night, head coach Steve Kerr indicated there isn\u2019t a target date for Curry to scrimmage.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re not bringing him back for \u2026 (just) the play-in game,\u201d Kerr said. \u201cHe needs to play some games and we need to give him a runway if this is going to work and we are running out of games. That\u2019s fair to see. He\u2019s still working. (Vice president of player health and performance) Rick (Celebrini) is working with him with the mind set that he will be back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kerr said Curry, ever the competitor, has \u201cat times been frustrated\u201d by his sore knee.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis matters to him so much,\u201d Kerr said. \u201cHe loves the game so much. He loves the process of preparing for the games. It means a lot to him, so you can see the emotion. We\u2019re all really so lucky to have him just because it\u2019s great for the other guys to see how much it means to him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Additionally, center Al Horford\u2019s right calf strain is making \u201cgood progress,\u201d the team announced. The 19th-year big man \u2014 out an eighth straight game Friday \u2014 has also started on-court workouts with another evaluation due next Friday. Seth Curry, out an eighth straight game Friday, is day-to-day with his left adductor strain though he has returned to scrimmaging and on-court workouts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
