Steph Curry will play on Wednesday against the Boston Celtics. The Golden State Warriors’ two-time MVP returned last Monday after a three-game absence due to an ankle injury. Curry is not on the injury report ahead of the game against the Celtics after not suffering setbacks in his comeback.
His return was perfectly timed, so he could be close to 100% to play against the Celtics. It’s the toughest matchup for the Warriors, who have had an easy schedule to tip off the 2024-25 NBA season. It has allowed them to gain a solid rhythm as they are 6-1 entering Wednesday’s game against the 7-1 Boston Celtics.
The Warriors will hope to make the most of Curry’s availability and begin this next four-game stretch against opponents over .500 with a massive upset win.
