Warriors’ Stephen Curry eyeing return Friday against Atlanta

SAN ANTONIO — Warriors guard Stephen Curry eyes a return Friday night against Atlanta from a right-ankle injury that has sidelined him six games, a team source confirmed to The Chronicle. ESPN was the first to report the news. Curry had his ankle re-evaluated Tuesday. The Warriors announced he is "making good progress" and has been cleared to participate in full team practices starting Wednesday, with "the goal of returning to play later this week." Barring any unforeseen setbacks, Curry is expected to play against the Hawks. Golden State players were given Tuesday off and have two days of practice and a shootaround before Friday night's game.
