Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry was cleared to participate in segments of the team's practice Friday night in Houston, the team announced.
The Warriors ruled Curry out for Saturday's game against the Rockets, but said he will be reevaluated Sunday, possibly paving the way for him to return Monday against the Wizards in Washington, D.C.
Saturday will mark the third consecutive game Curry has missed due to a left peroneal strain sustained on Oct. 27 against the LA Clippers.
De'Anthony Melton, who also exited that game with a back injury, will also miss his third straight game Saturday.
Melton is making "good progress," according to the team, but will be reevaluated again in one week. That would rule him out for the Warriors' next four games.
Melton has dealt with multiple back injuries, which Warriors coach Steve Kerr said would play a role in how the team approaches this current ailment.
Andrew Wiggins is considered probable for Saturday's game at Houston as he deals with a lower back injury.
