After missing the last two games with a bruised left shin, Warriors point guard Stephen Curry is probable to return Saturday against the Nuggets, according to ESPN.com.

Curry, who made it through Saturday morning shootaround without any setbacks, said the pain still hasn't gone away.

"It's just like swelling and stuff that moves around, and you feel it pretty much everywhere, so the impact is on my shin," Curry said. "But I've learned over the past 48 hours where the impact is, it can radiate all over." 

It appears Golden State (30-2) will get Curry and his 30.5 points per game back Saturday, but he could still suffer a late setback like he did Friday in Houston when he planned on playing until he got to the arena.

"It got better in Houston," he said. "I went out and tried to test it before the game and got some shots up. I felt it pretty much on every move."

If Curry does indeed suit up against Denver, he will have a juicy matchup against a team struggling to defend the perimeter.
