Stephen Curry appears close to returning from injury after Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr described him as "questionable" for game one of their second-round matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday.

Curry has been out since March 23 with a sprained left MCL and has played just one game since March 8 as he has dealt with leg injuries all season long.

He missed every game of the Warriors' 4-1 series win over the San Antonio Spurs in the first round, but went through full practice on Thursday.

"Steph practiced, he did everything, looked good, too," Kerr told reporters. "I would say he's questionable for game one.

"We have to see how his body responds the rest of the day, put him through another practice tomorrow [Friday], I think he needs to string together a few good days but it was very positive."

The Warriors went 41-10 with Curry in the line-up, without him they went 17-14.
