Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Curry won't be on a minutes restriction when he makes his comeback, but also won't be pushed too hard.
"I feel like he's in a pretty good place to come back right now," Kerr said Monday, via ESPN. "He'll want to get his legs underneath him. So we'll try to find that balance between being cautious and letting him go a little bit.''
Curry hasn't played since March 23, which was his first game back after a right ankle injury, due to an MCL sprain in his left knee. Despite his absence, the Warriors have progressed through the postseason and cruised to a 123-101 win over the Pelicans in Game 1 on Saturday.
"After missing as much time as he did, he’s going to be like a kid in a candy store," Draymond Green said, via the San Francisco Chronicle.
The Warriors will tip off Game 2 against the Pelicans at 10:30 p.m. ET Tuesday.
