Is Stephen Curry Playing Tonight?
Yes, Stephen Curry is set to play tonight vs. the Timberwolves, as he is no longer listed on the Warriors’ official injury report. On X, the NBA announced that Stephen Curry is set to make his highly anticipated return tonight when the Golden State Warriors take on the Minnesota Timberwolves.
He missed five straight games with a left quad contusion and muscle strain, and you could see the effect on Golden State’s offense — less spacing, more ugly possessions, and a general “please someone hit a shot” energy. Multiple outlets now confirm he’s cleared to return, with insiders noting that the medical staff has signed off after he ramped up on-court work this week. For fans, that basically means one thing: expect No. 30 back bombing threes and pulling defenders out to the logo again.
Stephen Curry Injury Update
Stephen Curry recently dealt with a right quadriceps contusion and muscle strain, an injury that sounded minor at first but lingered enough to keep him out longer than hoped. An MRI confirmed the quad issue, and early reports suggested he might only be back after the NBA’s in-season break, but his rehab progressed faster, leading the Warriors to circle this Timberwolves game as his return target. By December 11, team reports and national insiders were saying Curry had been officially cleared, with him participating in individual work and then limited practice before getting removed from the injury list entirely.
According to a recent tweet from @TWolvesLead, Steph Curry is set to return to the Golden State Warriors lineup tomorrow for their game against Minnesota. Curry has been sidelined since November 26 due to a quad injury, but his return marks a significant boost for the Warriors as they face off against the Timberwolves.
There’s still an expectation that the Warriors could manage his minutes a bit in his first game back, especially given his age and the long list of lower‑body knocks he’s carried over the last few seasons, but nothing indicates a strict minute cap tonight. If anything, the messaging sounds like: he’s healthy, they’ve been cautious, and now it’s time to let him rebuild rhythm on the court instead of the training room.
Steph Curry Stats
Stephen Curry’s 2025–26 season stats before the quad injury have been very much “still that guy”: he’s averaging around 30 points, 4–5 rebounds, and 4–5 assists per game, with his usual heavy three‑point volume and efficiency. His game log shows some ridiculous scoring nights 49 points at San Antonio, 42 against Denver, multiple outings in the mid‑30s, reminding everyone that even at 37, he can flip a game in a few possessions.
In his most recent game before the injury, Curry scored 14 points with 6 rebounds and 5 assists in 33 minutes against the Houston Rockets, a quieter scoring night by his standards but still a solid all‑around contribution. Earlier in November, he dropped 38 on Portland, 34 on Orlando, and 46 on San Antonio, with several games featuring 7–9 made threes, the kind of stat lines that keep defenses terrified and fantasy managers grinning.
