The Golden State Warriors have taken a cautious approach during Stephen Curry’s recovery period, aiming to avoid rushing him back too soon and risking further setbacks. Head coach Steve Kerr finally confirmed that Curry is expected to play in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Pelicans. This update has sparked major attention across sports platforms, including Live Cricket BPL, which has been closely tracking Curry’s status throughout the playoffs.

That said, Curry’s minutes may be limited. Although he had already reached a level of recovery that could have allowed him to play in Game 1, the Warriors opted for one more night of rest to ensure a full recovery. “We have to protect Steph and make sure he’s completely healthy before we put him back in,” Kerr explained. Speaking about Curry’s progress, Kerr said, “He told me he’s feeling great and ready to go. That’s exactly what I hoped to hear. It’s much better than him saying his knee still hurts.” After five weeks off the court, every player is eager to get back in the game, especially with the stakes this high.

Curry has been steadily regaining form and had already volunteered to play before Game 1 began. However, the coaching staff decided to err on the side of caution. “We just want to make sure the form he’s shown in practice can be maintained,” Kerr said. “He felt good during yesterday’s scrimmage and again today. We’ll have him join more team drills tomorrow, and as I’ve said before, I fully expect him to play on Wednesday.” Still, even if Curry returns in Game 2, his time on the court may be managed carefully. The coaching team might limit his minutes to reduce physical strain.

The final decision will be made on Wednesday. “Anything is possible,” Kerr noted. “If we need to manage his time on the floor, we might consider bringing him off the bench. But at this point, it’s still too early to be definitive.” Fans and analysts, including those from Live Cricket BPL, are closely watching how the team navigates this critical moment in the series. With Curry likely to return, even in a limited role, the Warriors could see a major shift in momentum. As Game 2 approaches, Live Cricket BPL continues to highlight Curry’s comeback as one of the most anticipated storylines of the postseason.
