Curry set for Warriors return

Two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Stephen Curry could return from monthlong injury absence today, when his reigning champion Golden State Warriors open a second-round playoff series against the New Orleans Pelicans. Warriors coach Steve Kerr was cautiously optimistic after Curry went through a full contact practice on Thursday for the first time since spraining a ligament in his right knee on March 23.

“Steph practised at 100 per cent,” said Kerr, who said he considered Curry “questionable”.
