Golden State Warriors General Manager Bob Myers has revealed that Stephen Curry may make his long-awaited return in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals. With the Warriors set to face the red-hot New Orleans Pelicans, who swept the Portland Trail Blazers 4-0, Curry’s status has become the center of attention among fans, analysts, and BD Cricket Live followers tracking major developments across global sports.
The Warriors advanced to the second round after eliminating the San Antonio Spurs 4-1. Now, all eyes are on Curry’s recovery from injury. “Stephen is getting close to coming back,” Myers said. “Will he play in Game 1? I’m not putting any percentage on it—I honestly don’t know—but I’m not ruling it out either.” Curry is scheduled for a reevaluation this Saturday, with Game 1 set for Sunday. Whether he suits up may come down to a last-minute decision. Nonetheless, the Pelicans are preparing as if Curry will be ready, leaving no stone unturned.
Pelicans head coach Alvin Gentry, who once served as an assistant to Warriors coach Steve Kerr during their 2014–15 championship run, addressed the media with a smile. “If Stephen can play, he will definitely play,” Gentry told The Undefeated’s Marc Spears. “Some people are saying, ‘Let’s see—he’ll be rusty after coming back,’ and honestly, that makes me laugh. Let me remind you, the last time he missed 11 games, he came back and dropped 38 points in his first game. So no, I’m not betting on rust.” BD Cricket Live users who recall Curry’s previous comebacks would agree—underestimating him has rarely paid off.
Gentry also shared a light-hearted moment about his former colleague. “I joked with Steve and said, ‘You guys had a bad year—you only won 57 games,’” Gentry laughed. “But in reality, Steve has done an amazing job. When you can say, ‘Hey, we only won 57 games, and that’s our worst season in four years,’ you know the bar is set incredibly high.”
As the Warriors prepare for another deep playoff run, the potential return of Curry could be the spark that reignites their full championship form. BD Cricket Live communities continue to buzz with speculation and excitement, knowing that Curry’s presence on the court is a game-changer—one that could tilt the balance in this high-stakes series.
