Steph Curry's return to the Golden State Warriors' lineup on Friday came despite some lingering pain after being diagnosed with a pelvic injury. Curry revealed that he suffered a "deep serious contusion" that was reminiscent of an injury he had in 2021. Curry said he can play but will "feel it for a while."

The Warriors faced a major concern after Stephen Curry sustained his injury against the Toronto Raptors on March 21. The team’s offensive reliance on Curry left them struggling when they had to depend on Butler III and Kuminga.
