Curry (knee) is hopeful to return for Sunday's game against the Rockets, Sam Amick and Nick Friedell of The Athletic report.

Curry was able to practice in full for the first time since suffering a knee injury Jan. 30 against Detroit, which included participating in a 5-on-5 scrimmage after practice, per Amick and Friedell. The goal is for Curry to return to game action Sunday, assuming he checks out fine following Tuesday's activities. The sharpshooter has already been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with San Antonio and is being considered doubtful for Thursday against Cleveland, so he looks to have at least a few more days to make sure his knee feels strong before potentially facing live competition. The Warriors should have additional updates on Curry's status as Sunday approaches.

Reed won't start Tuesday's game against Toronto.

With Jalen Duren (knee) out, Reed got the start in Monday's 114-110 overtime loss to Oklahoma City, finishing with 21 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal. However, with Duren back in the lineup, Reed will return to the bench, likely limiting him to roughly 15-20 minutes of work.

Green won't start Tuesday's game against Toronto.

Green got the spot start in the front end of this back-to-back set, but he will retreat to the second unit Tuesday with Tobias Harris (hip) returning to the lineup. Green has averaged 6.4 points and 2.8 rebounds across 16.8 minutes per contest over his last five outings off the bench.

Huerter isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.

Huerter drew the start Monday with Detroit sitting multiple key starters, but he'll retreat to the bench for the second half of the team's back-to-back. The Maryland product has scored in double figures in two of his previous four matchups as a reserve.

Nance won't start Tuesday's game against Dallas, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.

After starting Milwaukee's last three games, Nance will slide back to the second unit. The 26-year-old forward has averaged 5.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 20.8 minutes per game over his last five appearances off the bench.

Dieng won't start Tuesday's game against Dallas.

Dieng started Milwaukee's last six games. However, with Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) back in the lineup, the 22-year-old will head back to the bench. With that said, Dieng was still productive in his last appearance as a reserve, finishing with 19 points, five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes in the 123-116 loss to the Cavaliers on March 17.

Shead will come off the bench Tuesday against the Pistons.

Shead drew a spot start Sunday against the Magic and delivered a double-double, but he'll move to a bench role Tuesday with Brandon Ingram returning to action. Shead has struggled as a reserve recently and has been held to single figures in 12 straight bench appearances.

Jackson won't start Tuesday's game against the Mavericks, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.

Jackson got the spot start in Sunday's loss to the Clippers but will return to the second unit Tuesday. Over his last five appearances off the bench, the 24-year-old has averaged 4.8 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 12.2 minutes per contest.

Kornet (knee) is listed as out ahead of Wednesday's game against Golden State, Matt Guzman of SI.com reports.

The veteran center won't suit up for the front end of this back-to-back set, though he'll likely return for Thursday's meeting with the Clippers. Without Kornet in the equation, Mason Plumlee and Kelly Olynyk are the favorites to see minutes behind Victor Wembanyama.

Harkless (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

The two-way player is in jeopardy of joining Keyonte George (hamstring) and Isaiah Collier (hamstring) on the inactive list for a second consecutive contest due to left hamstring soreness. If Harkless is unable to suit up Wednesday, Bez Mbeng would likely see a significant uptick in playing time.
