Stephen Curry cleared for return by Warriors doctors, Friday vs. Hawks likely date

For the second half of their last game, a loss in San Antonio, the Warriors were without all four All-Stars — Kevin Durant (ribs), Stephen Curry (ankle), Klay Thompson (thumb), and Draymond Green (hip contusion). Starting Friday against the Hawks at Oracle Arena, at least one of those guys should be back — Curry. If this had been the playoffs, Curry would have returned last weekend, but considering his multiple ankle sprains this season and his importance to the team, the Warriors decided to be extremely cautious.
