He exited the loss to the Pistons on Jan. 30 and has not been on the court since. He did spend time in Los Angeles for All-Star weekend, going viral for making a shot from the in-venue studio at Inglewood’s Intuit Dome, but Curry has spent most of his time recovering and did not participate in the game. The only way to heal from runner’s knee is rest. Though the team practiced on Tuesday, Kerr gave veterans Curry, Draymond Green and Al Horford the night off. Before the break, Kerr had said that he hoped Curry and Porzingis will be able to play in the team’s first game after the break, which is Thursday against Boston.“That’s the hope, but we haven’t seen Steph yet,” Kerr said. “We’ll see how it goes tomorrow.” Although injuries have held him out of 16 games, Curry is still one of the top players in the NBA.

Although he was close to returning for Atlanta, the Warriors decided to hold Porzingis out after trading Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield for him. Prior to the All-Star break, he played both 3-on-3 and 5-on-5 in practices, and then spent the break working out in San Francisco with the Warriors’ training staff to prepare him for a return to the court. Kerr said Porzingis has flashed high-level isolation scoring in practice, but also noted that the team needs to see him in a more game-like setting before they decide if he is ready to play. “He’s feeling good, but we won’t make a determination until after we practice tomorrow afternoon,” Kerr said. “We’ll get up and down the floor and scrimmage, which we didn’t do today. we did more skill work and went over some things, so tomorrow, we’ll have a better feel for both those guys.”Asking Eric: If I wanted the neighbors at my party, I'd invite themHundreds of agents search for Savannah Guthrie's mom as her case spotlights other families left behind10 skiers missing after large avalanche near TruckeeDear Abby: The mother-daughter feud has gone to court, and I'm stuck in the middle
