Plays 24 minutes off bench Curry tallied six points (2-5 FG, 2-4 FT) and three rebounds over 24 minutes in Monday's 67-64 win over Loyola Marymount.

Impact Although he came off the bench Monday, Curry saw an increase in playing time compared to his usage over the first two games of the season. The redshirt senior hasn't been able to generate much production early in the season, and he should continue to share playing time with Brandon Johnson in the frontcourt until one of them become a more consistent contributor.

Getting start against Green Bay Curry will start the season opener against Green Bay on Wednesday, Marcus Fuller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Curry will get to start from game one as he looks to put his long injury history behind him for his senior season. The 6-9 forward averaged 5.5 points and 5.2 rebounds per game the last time he was able to play a full season as a freshman.

Will be available for opener Curry (knee) will be available to play in the season opener next week according to coach Richard Pitinio, Marcus Fuller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Curry has been slowly working his way back from a torn right ACL last October. The 6-9 forward has also missed time during his time at Minnesota due to a torn left ACL and a right foot injury. Curry hasn't played in a full season since his freshman campaign when he averaged 5.5 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. It's probably likely that he will handle a limited workload out of the gates to make sure his body can hold up.

Resumes light practice work Curry (knee) has received clearance to take part in light practice drills over the past month, Brian Bennett of The Athletic reports.

Impact Curry is working his way back from a torn ACL in his right knee, the latest in a string of serious injuries for the 6-foot-9, 240-pound center. Since appearing in 34 games as a true freshman in 2016-17, Curry has been limited to 15 appearances over the past three seasons, missing time due to an ACL tear in his left knee, a subsequent follow-up scope of that knee, and a right foot injury. Though Curry isn't doing much running or jumping after his latest setback, he's confident he'll be ready to go for the start of his fifth season of college in 2020-21. Even with Daniel Oturu moving on to the professional ranks, Curry is expected to fill a reserve role in the frontcourt, as Minnesota landed Drake transfer Liam Robbins to take over as its starting center this season.
