Is Steph Curry playing tonight against Portland Trail Blazers? Latest on 2x MVP's status (Oct. 23)

Steph Curry will play on Wednesday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. The two-time NBA MVP was initially listed as probable with a finger injury that forced him to miss the Golden State Warriors preseason finale. However, Curry has been omitted from the injury list as of 11:30 a.m. EDT.

He was available for four of the five games in the preseason and seemed in good conditioning otherwise. Curry had a busy summer with Team USA in Paris, where he won his first gold medal and helped the team win its fifth consecutively.

However, his rhythm wasn't there during the preseason. Curry shot only 36.6%, including 28.8% from 3. He will hope his preseason slump doesn't follow him into the Warriors' opening night clash against Portland, a game the Warriors are heavy favorites to win.
