The Golden State Warriors have probably received enough official injury updates to last them the rest of the season after the gut punches that were Jimmy Butler's official updates just a couple of weeks ago, but the season keeps on moving, as does the recovery on one Warriors who has been on the shelf for a while.

Seth Curry burst onto the scene with a fantastic game in early December right after resigning with the Warriors once their salary cap situation cleared up. However, he was forced to the bench almost as quickly as he had come, dealing with a sciatic nerve issue after playing just two games. Curry has since missed the last 18 games and has still yet to take the court with his brother, Steph, for the first time in their lengthy careers. 

That time will be coming, soon, though as the Warriors gave another relatively positive update about Curry's injury.

The official Warriors PR posted on Saturday that Curry was recently re-evaluated for his sciatic nerve injury and was deemed to be making good progress.

Curry has now officially progressed to various on-court workouts in addition to his daily rehab work and will be re-evaluated once again in two more weeks.

It's partially disappointing news that mostly mirrored the language of the Warriors' first injury update for Curry a few weeks ago. At that time, the Warriors had also said that Curry was making progress and would be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Of course, with any nerve-related issue, it's better to be safe than sorry, and the anticipation is starting to mount for Curry to return to the lineup, especially after Butler's injury opened up some more room in the rotation.

Curry's calling card is always his outside shooting. For his career, Curry is a 43.3% three-point shooter, and he led the NBA in percentage last year when he was with the Charlotte Hornets, shooting an astounding 45.6% from beyond the arc.

Even if Curry doesn't necessarily have a large role, he'll surely be getting at least a few minutes whenever the Warriors bench seems to need an offensive spark. However, especially if a trade is made in the near future, it's hard to imagine Curry remaining relegated to the end of the bench when he's healthy.

He provides an overall scoring spark, not just as a pure shooter, and can handle the ball relatively well. He's a veteran that understands the game and, on paper, operates extremely well within the Warriors' hyper-motion system, just as Steph does.

Though a bit shorter, he likely can fill the same role that Buddy Hield is playing now, coming off the bench as a wing shooter and defender that can act as a tertiary ball-handler and playmaker behind De'Anthony Melton or Brandin Podziemski for the reserves.

The return will have to wait a bit longer, but Curry is almost surely going to have some type of role and make an impact when he finally hits the court.
