A hot topic on any Warriors fan’s mind in recent weeks has been the health of Stephen Curry. While the Warriors have a deep roster that can sustain success without Curry to an extent, Curry and Curry alone allows the Warriors to unlock their full potential on offense and turn into the historic juggernaut that they are.
Curry went through a modified practice Saturday at AT&T Center in San Antonio, and showed that if nothing else, he hasn’t lost his shooting touch.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said Curry is “coming along well,” according to Mark Medina of the Bay Area News Group.
“You never know what a guy’s pain tolerance is or how he’s feeling,” Warriors forward Kevin Durant said, according to Medina. “But from his movements, he looked good to me.”
Curry will officially be re-evaluated on Friday. The next step in his rehabilitation is to participate in full-contact drills.
Meanwhile, the Warriors also released their injury report for their next game against the Spurs Sunday, and it indicates some concern for the health of backup point guard Shaun Livingston.
Injury report for tomorrow's Game 4 at San Antonio: Shaun Livingston (left ankle sprain) is probable. Stephen Curry (left MCL sprain) & Patrick McCaw (lumbar spine contusion) are out.

Though Livingston is listed as probable, the mere fact that Livingston was listed on the injury report indicates that the sprain, which he suffered in Game 3 of the series, is somewhat serious. Forward Kevin Durant also rolled an ankle in Game 3, but later told reporters that he would not miss any time with the injury.
