The Golden State Warriors were without their lead player, Stephen Curry, on Thursday night.
Partly because of that, the Warriors fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder, 128-109.
Curry allegedly practiced with his team on Friday morning, and there is a chance that he will return on Saturday night for their next game, also against the Thunder.
Warriors big man Kevon Looney spoke about what he saw.
According to Monte Poole, Looney said, “He looked like Steph. He looked good. At this level, guys are great at hiding if they’re hurt, so I don’t know if he felt great but he looked great.”

It sounds like Curry is headed in the right direction, which means he could be back and ready to lead his team very soon.
The Warriors have wobbled into a rough rut lately.
They started the season with a promising 5-1 record but since then they have lost multiple games, including five in a row.
The loss of Curry was the last thing they needed.
Following his absence, the team also lost Draymond Green, who has now sat out one game of his five-game suspension.
The Warriors want Curry and Green back as soon as possible because they have a busy week ahead.
After squaring off against the Thunder again on Saturday night, they will then see the Houston Rockets on Monday and the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday.
Following a game against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday, they will play against the Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Clippers.
If Curry comes back, the team will again have its best point producer as well as a natural leader.
They need all that Curry can bring right now.
