Is Steph Curry playing tonight against LA Clippers?

Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors will look to start a winning streak when they visit the LA Clippers on Saturday night. Curry has been playing like an MVP this season and has only missed two games due to a minor knee injury. So, is Steph Curry playing tonight against the LA Clippers?

The four-time NBA champion is not on the Warriors' injury report for Saturday's game, which means he will be available to play. He's coming off a 26-point performance in Golden State's 120-114 win over the Clippers on Thursday.

There are four players on Golden State's injury report – Chris Paul, Andrew Wiggins, Gary Payton II and Usman Garuba. Paul, Payton and Garuba are listed as out, while Wiggins is questionable due to right finger soreness. Wiggins missed Thursday's game, with Moses Moody getting a spot start.

Chris Paul is considered day-to-day with a nerve contusion on his lower left leg. Paul suffered the injury against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday. Gary Payton II tore his calf that day and is out indefinitely.

Steph Curry had to pick up some playmaking duties on Thursday night, with Paul out due to injury. Curry had eight assists in the LA Clippers win, while Brandin Podziemski played 31 minutes off the bench.

Meanwhile, Usman Garuba has a dislocated right finger. The Warriors signed him on a two-way contract in the offseason. The 21-year-old is a 2021 first-round pick by the Houston Rockets.

Thursday's win was very special for the Golden State Warriors Big 3 of Klay Thompson, Steph Curry and Draymond Green. Not only did they get a win over the LA Clippers, they got the win on 11/30/23, which is the date of their respective jerseys.

Curry told Bob Fitzgerald and Kelenna Azubuike of NBC Sports Bay Area the significance of the trio playing together for 12 years and counting:

"We're all three different, but we love the game of basketball, so we vibe on the competitiveness and the will to win over the years," Curry said.
"Draymond said in our sit down a couple years ago. We never asked any of us to change who we are. We've obviously evolved and grown over the years. ... But like Draymond said, blessed to be 12 years in, all three of us together, that's special. That's history right there."
