Steph Curry Injury Update: NBA insider reveals Warriors star's potential return timeline from pelvic bruise

Steph Curry is out with an injury, and it's unclear when exactly the Golden State Warriors star will make his return. An NBA insider confirmed that an MRI showed that Curry sustained a pelvic bruise. His injury came against the Toronto Raptors last Thursday. He scored 17 points in 25 minutes.

Shams Charania reported that Curry's return isn't certain at the moment. Curry is expected to join the Golden State Warriors as they visit the Miami Heat on Tuesday. However, his presence in Miami doesn't mean he's automatically going to play with his team.

Charania also reported that Curry's status for Tuesday's game will depend on how his pelvic bruise responds to the treatment. In the worst-case scenario, Curry could make a return either on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans or on Sunday against the San Antonio Spurs.
