Golden State Warriors are currently without their four All-Star players, but one could return soon. According to the team's statement from Tuesday, guard Stephen Curry, who missed the team's last six games, is “making good progress and, as a result, has been cleared to participate in full team practice beginning tomorrow, with the goal of returning to play later this week.”

Stephen Curry suffered a sprained ankle injury during the game against the San Antonio Spurs on March 8. Warriors are being cautious over Curry's return since this was his fourth ankle injury this season. The 30-year-old also has a history of ankle injuries, which at one point threaten to jeopardize his basketball career. According to the sources, Curry is eyeing to return to action on Friday against the Atlanta Hawks.

During the six games span without Curry, the Warriors are 2-4. They are also 13-8 this season when he's not on the floor compared to 40-10 when he is starting. Curry has been averaging 26.3 points, 6.2 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game in the 2017-18 season.

Besides Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors currently have Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson on the injury list. According to the reports, Durant (ribs injury) and Thompson (hand injury) won't be returning to the starting line-up anytime soon.

Warrior's fourth All-Star, forward Draymond Green, also suffered a pelvic contusion injury in the second quarter of Monday's loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Still, it looks like Green won't miss out any time.

“It"ll be fine” – he said after the game. “I think it's just kind of something that's kind of at the peak right now, but it's calmed down a little bit since it happened. So, it's not that serious.“

Asked whether he thinks he will miss games because of the injury, Green responded: “I don't think so, but I don't know. I"ll just go day by day and see if it improves over the next couple of days. But I don't think so.“
