Seth Curry returns to action
Seth Curry will play against the Utah Jazz on March 9, 2026, after missing the last three months due to sciatica. This marks his first game since December 4, when he last took the court for the Golden State Warriors.
Curry’s absence has been felt significantly by the Warriors, who have struggled with consistency in his absence. He led the NBA in 3-point field goal percentage last season at an impressive 45.6 percent. This season, he has shot 6-of-9 as a Warrior, including 2-of-4 from beyond the arc.
The Warriors currently lead the NBA in made 3-pointers per game with an average of 16.3. However, they rank 14th in 3-point percentage at 35.9, indicating a need for Curry’s sharpshooting skills.
During Curry’s time away, Moses Moody has stepped up, averaging 15.4 points per game since his injury on January 30. However, Moody will not be available for this game due to a sprained wrist. Additionally, Will Richard remains sidelined with an ankle injury.
On the other hand, the Warriors will have De’Anthony Melton back in the lineup after he missed a previous game. His return adds depth to the roster as they face the Jazz.
Head coach Steve Kerr expressed enthusiasm about Curry’s return, stating, “It’s great to have him back,” and acknowledged Curry’s shooting prowess, noting, “(He is) obviously a great shooter, knows how to play.”
As the Warriors prepare for this matchup, they hope that Curry’s return will provide a much-needed boost to their offensive strategy. His ability to stretch the floor and create opportunities will be crucial against the Jazz.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding how many minutes Curry will play in his first game back, but his presence on the court is expected to have a significant impact.
The upcoming game against the Jazz will be a pivotal moment for Curry and the Warriors as they look to regain momentum in the season.
