Stephen Curry came off the bench for the Golden State Warriors in the 107-123 home win over the Denver Nuggets in Game 1.
The superstar guard returned to action after missing a month with a left foot injury and spent 22 minutes on the floor.
Despite not starting for the Warriors, Stephen Curry had 16 points, on 5/13 shooting and 3/6 from beyond the arc.
“It was smooth for the most part, understanding it was nice to get back out there. It was nice to feel a playoff vibe again.
Obviously it’s different coming off the bench and trying to make the most of the minutes that are appropriate right now and had to kind of control adrenaline for the first six minutes until I got out there and everything went fine.
And obviously JP, do what he did, Draymond bringing the energy, defensive presence, just IQ; Klay getting off to a great start.
And then you know, everybody else stepping up and playing an amazing game, it was nice to just be out there with my guys and a step in the right direction,” Stephen Curry told media afterwards.
The two-time NBA MVP will be waiting to see how his foot will respond after the 22 minutes he played. At the moment, though, he is expected to come off the bench again.
Game 2 between the Golden State Warriors and the Denver Nuggets will take place at Chase Center on Monday. The Warriors lead the series 1-0.
