Great news for Warriors! Curry expected to return by end of March, knee swelling issue resolved

On March 19 Beijing time, according to renowned reporter Shams, Stephen Curry's recovery has progressed, and the Warriors are increasingly optimistic that he could return before the end of this month. As the Warriors star continues to recover from runner's knee injury, expectations for his return are becoming more positive.

Shams stated that Curry's recovery is steadily progressing positively, and if everything goes smoothly, he is expected to return by the end of March. He said on the "NBA Today" program: "Currently, there is cautious optimism externally that Stephen Curry could return to the lineup sometime this month. From what I understand, he had a very effective on-court training session in Boston on Tuesday afternoon (local time), starting to run, change direction, move, and even engage in light contact, somewhat returning to the Curry we know."

Shams added: "But most importantly, his knee no longer has the swelling that was present in recent weeks or a month ago. As I understand, he even received PRP injection treatment for the knee issue at that time. So now the key is for him to gradually increase his physical conditioning, make the knee more comfortable, and then determine the return timeline."

Curry has missed 22 consecutive games, and at this critical stage of the season, the Warriors have lost their top scorer and offensive organizer.

The Warriors currently rank 9th in the Western Conference with 33 wins and 35 losses, still fighting hard for a playoff spot. Curry's return will be a significant boost for the team's push towards the playoffs.

Before the injury, Curry continued to perform at an elite level: this season, he played 39 games, averaging 27.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists, with a shooting percentage of 46.8% and a three-point percentage of 39.1%.
