The Golden State Warriors expect Stephen Curry to play in Game 2 against the Pelicans, which would be his first game since suffering a Grade 2 sprained MCL in his left knee in March.

Curry has missed 15 games.

The Warriors have always expected Curry to return at some point in the second round.

"If it were up to me, I would have played for about 20 minutes tonight," Curry told ESPN after the Warriors' victory on Saturday. "The plan is to return Tuesday, but ultimately it's up to the training staff. I feel good."
