On Monday, it was revealed that injured point guard Stephen Curry is getting close to playing again, which was great news for Golden State Warriors supporters. However, the organization has officially labeled his status as questionable despite the fact that he completed a full practice yesterday and might play as early as tonight’s game against the Phoenix Suns.
Klay Thompson is good to go. He, Steph Curry, Andrew Wiggins and Andre Iguodala all practiced today
No Jonathan Kuminga, James Wiseman or JaMychal Green

Steph Curry is officially questionable for tomorrow, as of now. Seems like more of a precaution
Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala are probable. Wiseman, Kuminga and J. Green are all out

Curry is a little over a month removed from the shoulder injury he suffered against the Indiana Pacers on Dec. 5. The Warriors have hinted about a potential return coming on Friday against the San Antonio Spurs, but it looks like Curry could be available sooner than that.
Whether tonight or on Friday, Curry’s return will be a welcome sight. Although Golden State has held things down in his absence, the team has looked noticeably slower while also lacking energy during their current two-game losing streak. Head coach Steve Kerr noted that the heavy minutes for some of his players are beginning to concern him — especially for the front court — as the team continues to navigate through all of their injuries.
Kerr says there is a level of concern for Kevon Looney and Draymond Green because of how many minutes they’ve been playing with such a thin front court. They didn’t scrimmage, in addition to other heavy minute players such as Donte DiVincenzo and Jordan Poole.

Curry’s potential return should at the very least provide some relief for those heavy minute players. More importantly though, his return may just be the spark that the Warriors need to bounce back and finish their homestand on a high note.
