All-Star guard Stephen Curry returned to the Golden State Warriors lineup on Sunday as they squared off against the Los Angeles Lakers in a nationally televised game (3:30 ET, ABC). The two-time MVP had been absent for 11 games after suffering a left leg injury in a matchup against the Dallas Mavericks on February 4. Despite his absence, the Warriors were still able to muster a record of 7-4, including five consecutive wins.

Steve Kerr revealed that Stephen Curry will have a minutes restriction in Sunday's game, yet didn't specify how long. Curry, who is averaging 29.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 6.4 assists on 38 games this season, is scheduled to appear alongside Andre Iguodala, who has had limited game time due to a hip issue. This will only be his fourth game since January 13th.
