OAKLAND – After missing two practices over the weekend due to illness, Stephen Curry returned to the court Tuesday and participated in a 90-minute workout with his Warriors teammates.
He’s feeling better, but will continue to take a prescribed dosage of antibiotics.
“Flu-like symptoms that stuck around for longer than I expected,” he said. “But it’s a pretty good week to have it, with no games. It was nice to be back out there.”
Curry endured the symptoms through games last week, even playing 26 minutes last Thursday against Sacramento.
“In hindsight,” Curry said, “that probably didn’t make things better.”
The Warriors were off on Friday, but practiced without Curry on Saturday and Sunday.

Though Curry should have few, if any restrictions, when the Warriors travel to Denver to face the Nuggets on Friday, the missed time represents a bit of a setback. Coach Steve Kerr and his staff spent the weekend installing plays that Curry likely knows but will require some adjustment with the team’s new personnel.
“I’m always familiar with everything, with X’s and O’s and stuff,” Curry said. "But routine-wise, it does kind of halt you a little bit. You’re missing strength sessions, missing my post-practice workouts and stuff. And obviously the conditioning that you get in practice, you miss that too.”
Two days, Curry said, is about as much as he can miss without falling appreciably behind.
The worst of it may be behind Curry, but he noted that the entire household is now battling illness.
“It’s all my fault,” he said.
