Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr is optimistic Stephen Curry will be fit to return for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. 

Curry has missed his side's last two games having suffered a pelvic convulsion in last Thursday's win over the Toronto Raptors after crashing to the floor.

Without their star point guard, the Warriors have opened their six-game road trip with two losses, to the Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat.

However, Kerr said the 37-year-old has returned to practice and looked good in a six-minute scrimmage, as well as going through his own individual workout. 

"He looked really good. He is going to go through his individual workout like he did the other day. That is where he can really feel and test certain things. I am optimistic [he will return Friday]," Kerr said.

Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski said his teammate "looked fine" during Thursday's scrimmage.

The 22-year-old added: "I hope he plays tomorrow. We obviously could use him.

"But we'd rather have him be 100% healthy instead of rushing him back."

Curry has averaged 24.1 points in 60 regular-season games this season, shooting just under 40% from three-point range, helping the Warriors to seventh in the Western Conference standings, one place outside the automatic playoff spots.
