Curry played in his first game after missing five straight because of a quad injury, and he hit big shots before and during Friday's game.

Curry had a famous from-the-tunnel pregame tradition at Oracle Arena — which was essentially a very long baseline extended shot — but with the move to the Chase Center, Curry had to adapt the shot, which is now longer than the length of the court. Which is not out of his range, apparently.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry scored 39 points against the Minnesota Timberwolves while wearing Anthony Edwards' adidas shoes.

On Friday night, Curry and the Warriors lost because he created a monster in DiVincenzo three years ago, or so the monster says.

Rudy Gobert was 6-for-6 from the floor in the fourth quarter and finished with 24 points and 14 rebounds in a game that saw 27 lead changes.

Coach Steve Kerr said Thursday the 37-year-old two-time Kia MVP is expected to return for Friday’s game against Minnesota following a five-game absence nursing a left quadriceps contusion and muscle strain. The Warriors went 3-2 without him, and now he is expected to play alongside younger brother Seth Curry for the first time.

Here's a look at every angle of the absurd Tunnel Shot, which truly can only be seen to be believed. Curry, who missed the last five games with a quad contusion, dropped 39 points, five rebounds and five assists in his return. It wasn't enough, however, as Minnesota won 127-120 without Anthony Edwards to drop the Warriors to 13-13.

Curry's return is certainly a much-needed boost for the Warriors, however. In the 16 games he played prior to his injury absence, the 37-year-old guard averaged 27.9 points on 47.1% shooting, 3.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 steals.
