The two-time MVP has been sidelined since March 16 with a sprained ligament and bone bruise in his left foot – an injury he suffered while diving for a loose ball.
Golden State released a statement on Tuesday saying Curry “continues to make good progress in his recovery process,” and it appears to be only a matter of time before he is ultimately declared good to go for Game 1.
The 34-year-old had another productive campaign in 2021-22, averaging a team-high 25.5 PPG while adding 6.3 assists and 5.2 rebounds per contest.
FanDuel Sportsbook currently has the Dubs as -5.5 home favorites on the spread and -255 on the moneyline ahead of Saturday’s Game 1 matchup.
