The Golden State Warriors are set to face the Miami Heat on Tuesday, hoping to bounce back after a tough loss to the Atlanta Hawks. The Warriors are determined to regain their winning form, and the potential return of Stephen Curry could be a major boost.
Curry missed the team’s last game due to a hard fall he suffered in last Thursday’s game against the Toronto Raptors. According to NBA insider Shams Charania, the Warriors’ star will be reevaluated before tip-off against the Heat to determine whether he can suit up.

If Curry does return, it will be a special occasion. The game marks the first time his new teammate, Jimmy Butler, will face his former Miami squad. Since Butler’s arrival, the Warriors have transformed their season, improving from the 11th seed to the 6th seed in the Western Conference standings. The team has gone 16-4 since acquiring Butler.
Curry has seemingly gained extra motivation with Butler on board and has also been instrumental in the team’s surge. In 60 games this season, he has averaged 24.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game.

Curry’s influence on modern basketball is undeniable. His deep shooting range and off-ball movement have forced defenses to adapt in ways never seen before. With four NBA championships and two MVP awards, his resume also cements his place among the league’s greatest players.
