Steph Curry has been playing well since returning from a minor knee injury last week. Curry and the Golden State Warriors welcome the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night in a group stage game of the 2023 NBA In-Season Tournament. So, is Steph Curry playing against the Spurs?
According to the latest Warriors injury report, Curry is available and ready to play. He's played 40, 35 and 28 minutes since returning from a knee injury that sidelined him for two games.
The same cannot be said for Draymond Green and Gary Payton II, though, who are both on the team's injury report. Green remains out, as he continues to serve a five-game suspension for choking Rudy Gobert. Friday's game is the fifth and final game of his suspension.
Draymond Green is eligible to return on Tuesday in the tournament game versus the Sacramento Kings. As for Gary Payton II, he's listed as probable because of a sprained left foot. He has not played in three games after suffering an injury against the OKC Thunder.
Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors will have to continue to rely on Chris Paul as the primary playmaker. Paul escaped suspension after getting ejected for arguing with rival NBA official Scott Foster.
The Warriors are struggling at both ends of the floor, winning twice in 10 games. Curry is the only bright spot, but Paul, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins hve failed to find their groove on offense.
Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs are also in a rough stretch, riding a 10-game losing streak. They are languishing at the bottom of the Western Conference and are 3-12 on the season.
Steph Curry having an MVP-type season
Steph Curry was the main reason why the Golden State Warriors started the season strong, winning five of their opening six games. Curry was playing like an MVP, carrying the Warriors to wins
However, Golden State's poor shooting, particularly from the likes of Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins and Chris Paul, caught up with them. The Warriors re 11th in the Western Conference with a 7-9 record.
Curry is averaging 29.4 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.8 assists per, but it's not enough to give the Warriors wins.
Their lack of size has proven to be problematic, with most of their losses coming against teams with big men like Rudy Gobert, Karl-Anthony Towns, Chet Holmgren, Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley and Nikola Jokic.
