Report: Curry on course to return Sunday vs. Rockets

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is expected to be available for Sunday's matchup against former teammate Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania and Anthony Slater.

Curry has missed Golden State's last 27 games because of a knee issue. He participated in scrimmages Tuesday and Wednesday and suffered no setbacks. The 38-year-old last played on Jan. 30 against the Detroit Pistons.

Golden State has struggled without Curry, going 9-18 during his current absence. In total, the team is 13-25 this season when he doesn't play, compared to 23-16 when Curry suits up.

The Warriors are 36-41 heading into the final stretch of the regular season. They sit 10th in the Western Conference and are locked into the play-in tournament.

Curry is averaging a team-leading 27.2 points in 39 contests this season.
