The Warriors star is expected to return to action on Tuesday for game two of their second-round series against the New Orleans Pelicans, and just hopes he does not embarrass himself after being sidelined since March 23 because of a sprained medial collateral ligament.

“Just not suck after missing five weeks,” Curry told The Undefeated. “That’s my goal.

“If I do get the green light, just play my game. Do what I do on both ends of the court to help the team. There is nothing special about it. Just try to use my energy as a spark.”

Despite his absence, the Warriors beat the San Antonio Spurs 4-1 in the first round and cruised to a 123-101 win over the Pelicans in game one of the Western Conference semi-finals on Saturday.

Curry resumed full-contact practice on Thursday and scrimmaged five-on-five for the first time on Friday. He had been upgraded to questionable ahead of Saturday’s matchup, but the team decided to give him a little more time.
