Warriors star Stephen Curry's availability for Game 1 of NBA playoffs likely to go 'down to the wire,' says Steve Kerr

As the Golden State Warriors wrap up their regular season, the status of Stephen Curry for the start of the NBA playoffs is still up in the air as he works his way back from a left foot injury.

We will see how everything goes with Steph next week. Warriors coach Steve Kerr said there was a chance he could be ready for the first game of the playoffs. We will know a lot more after the next few days.

The first game of the playoffs will either be on April 16 or April 17

As of Sunday evening, Kerr had not spoken with the team's head trainer, Rick Celebrini, and didn't have an update on what kind of work Curry has been able to do over the past several days while the Warriors have been on the road.

Curry advanced to individual shooting work but did not participate in any team activity.

The plan is for Curry to increase his workload as the team prepares for the playoffs. Golden State will host several practices throughout the week while there are no games, and plans on having at least one day dedicated to a full scrimmage -- or dress rehearsal, as Kerr called it.

Kerr said that it was up in the air as to whether or not Steph would participate. As the week goes on, we will see where he is, but I think this will go right down to the wire, as far as Game 1 is concerned -- whether we know his availability or not.

Curry and the Warriors were confident that his recovery timetable would allow him to be back for the start of the playoffs, according to sources.

Curry is going to have a reevaluation early this week. His next official update is likely to come Tuesday because the Warriors won't practice Monday.
