It's been over four months since Warriors superstar Steph Curry last appeared in an NBA game.
But the three-time NBA champion will take the floor Thursday night at Chase Center against the Toronto Raptors.
With Golden State (14-48) boasting the worst record in the league, there are some people who would prefer to see Steph sit out the rest of the season. But that ain't happening.

On Thursday morning, sports talk host Dan Patrick dropped some knowledge that should fire up Warriors fans around the globe:
"Why wouldn't I be excited about him coming back? He wants to play. This may be foreign to people, but it used to be you came back because you're being paid, you come back because you want to compete, you come back because you actually love playing basketball.
"I'm glad he's coming back. Steph Curry changed basketball. And there aren't many players you can say, 'changed basketball.' The 2015 and 2016 seasons -- Steph Curry changed basketball. The entire league. You can't go find a Bird and Magic, you can't find a Michael Jordan, you can't find a Shaq, you couldn't find a Wilt Chamberlain.
"Everybody thinks they can find a Steph Curry. Everybody playing the game -- high school, grade school, even in college -- they think they can be Steph Curry. You feel like you could be Steph Curry. He changed the image of the NBA, and I think he's underrated because of that."

Yeah. What he said.
In 2015-16, Curry averaged 30.1 points and 6.7 assists, while shooting 50.4 percent overall and 45.4 percent from deep (he made 402 3-pointers). He led the Warriors to a single-season NBA record 73 wins and became the first unanimous MVP in league history.
In Game 6 of last year's Western Conference Semifinals in Houston, he scored all 33 of his points in the second half as the Warriors ended the Rockets' season for the fourth time in five years.
