“Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, who has missed the team’s last five games due to a sprained right ankle suffered on Dec. 4 at New Orleans, was re-evaluated by the team’s medical staff today. The evaluation indicated that the ankle is healing well and that he is making good progress overall, enabling him to progress to modified on-court workouts in the coming days. He will be re-evaluated in one week with the anticipation of having more clarity at that time on a potential return to game action plan.”

This season, Curry is averaging 26.3 points, 6.6 assists and 5.1 rebounds. He is shooting 47.3 percent from the floor and a career-worst 38.1 percent from 3-point range. The Warriors are 5-0 in his absence and have won nine straight.

Golden State (24-6, second in Western Conference) beat the Lakers in overtime on Monday and next host the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night.
