After today's inspection, the consensus is he is making "very good progress" with his rehabilitation program.

"He will begin to intensify his on-court workouts and, if he continues to progress at the level demonstrated in recent days, it is expected that Curry will begin to practice with the team next week," the team said in a press release.

This news comes as a major relief not just because of the team's recent struggles, but because Curry was involved in a multi-car accident Friday in Oakland.
