The wait is finally over for Stephen Curry.
The league's two-time Most Valuable Player will return to action on Saturday when the Golden State Warriors play at Detroit.
Curry has missed the last 11 games with a groin injury. The Warriors have gone 5-6 in his absence.
"He wants to play. He's ready to play," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said.
Curry was hoping the team's medical staff would give him the green light on Thursday. The Warriors (15-8) lost in overtime at Toronto 131-128, the first of five consecutive road stops.
