Golden State Warriors star guard Stephen Curry intends to make his return from a leg injury on Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers barring a setback, TNT's Chris Haynes reports.
Curry was diagnosed with partial tears to his superior tibiofibular ligament and interosseous membrane in his left leg, as well as a lower-leg contusion.
He left a Feb. 4 game against Dallas with 2:01 left in the third quarter, after his wrapped left leg — which he originally hurt earlier in a matchup against Denver — appeared to buckle as he played defence.
Curry already has had one extended absence of the season, missing 11 games from Dec. 16 through Jan. 7 with a shoulder injury. The Warriors went 6-5 in those games.
Curry is averaging 29.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 6.4 assists this season.
