Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry is 'on track' to make Game 1 against the Denver Nuggets as he recovers from a foot injury.
Curry has missed the final 12 games of the season after being injured against the Boston Celtics while diving for a loose ball and colliding with Marcus Smart.
Shams Charania of The Athletic is reporting that he is expected to make his return for Game 1 against the Nuggets as long as he clears Thursday's team scrimmage without further complications.
His expected recovery from a sprained left foot will be a massive boost for the Warriors who have been relying on Klay Thompson as their only experienced, high-level scorer to close the season.
