The Golden State Warriors are set to face off against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night, and they will have their superstar point guard, Steph Curry, in the lineup. Curry had been sidelined for some time with a knee sprain, but his return has shown no signs of lingering issues, which is a positive sign for the Warriors.

Recently, the Warriors have experienced a rough patch, amplified by Curry’s absence and Draymond Green’s suspension. However, the team’s struggles have been more complex than just missing key players in some games.

Seeking to regain their footing, the Warriors have an opportunity to do so against the Western Conference’s weakest team. Despite the Spurs having a promising rookie talent in Victor Wembanyama, their record stands at just 3-12 through 15 games.

Currently sitting at 7-9 for the season, the Warriors have ground to make up if they want to reclaim their position at the top of the playoff picture, where they expect to be. Nonetheless, it is still early in the season, with only 2.5 games separating the 11th seed from the 5th seed.

With Curry back in good health, the Warriors aim to build some much-needed momentum that has been elusive in the early stages of the season.
