Stephen Curry's status for Golden State's postseason opener, Saturday against Denver, remains in question as he rehabs from a sprained ligament in his left foot.In recent days, the reigning scoring champion has been doing individual work on the floor and could join full practices and scrimmages this week.The Warriors said Tuesday that "his eventual return to action -- and the possibility of playing this weekend -- is unclear and will be based on his progress.""He continues to work," coach Steve Kerr said."It's literally day to day, so tomorrow we'll meet with the team and look at strategy, game plan, practice in the afternoon and each day determine where Steph is at and how much he can do."Curry was injured March 16, during the home game against Boston, and Golden State went 6-6 without him.The Warriors found the rhythm of him to win their last five games of the regular season.Kerr said the team will hold a scrimmage Thursday and that could be Curry's first chance to test his foot in action if he's ready.He won't play a game of the season until he has a practice game."The whole team needs a practice game since we usually play every other day and now all of a sudden we have six days between games, that's unique," Kerr acknowledged.“Everyone will need a practice, but it would be irresponsible to put Steph in the postseason without having a practice game first.”The Warriors finished 53-29 and secured third place in the Western Conference.They will host the Nuggets on Saturday for the first matchup of the first round at the Chase Center.“At the end of the week we will determine if he is ready or not,” Kerr responded to the question of whether there is a timetable for making a decision on Curry."It's hard to predict much."Curry was injured with 4:19 remaining in the second quarter against Boston while searching for a fumble.Marcus Smart pounced on the play and landed on the two-time MVP's leg.Curry winced and got to his feet, but began to limp before exiting in the ensuing timeout.He gets the latest news in Spanish Monday, Wednesday and Friday.Subscribe to our newsletterYou may occasionally receive promotional content from the San Diego Union-Tribune en Español.To ensure that the San Diego Union-Tribune en Español remains healthy and robust, your donation, in any measure, is now more important than ever.Help us continue to inform the community.To donate click on the logo.Privacy Policy Privacy Policy Terms of Service Sign Up For Our Newsletters
