Is Stephen Curry Playing vs Jazz? Warriors Injury Report for Play-in Seeding Decider

The Golden State Warriors suffered a heartbreaking 109-114 loss against the New Orleans Pelicans last night. The loss plummeted them to the 10th seed, tied with the Sacramento Kings’ record at 45-36. Dub Nation’s heart also skipped a beat when their Golden Boy Stephen Curry rolled his ankle in the closing minutes of yesterday’s game. Their fate now depends on Sunday’s finale against the Utah Jazz. But will Steph be available for it, following his injury scare?

The Warriors’ latest injury report has Stephen Curry’s status for tomorrow’s game as questionable. He is still feeling the effects of the ankle sprain and might miss the Utah clash. They might be in deep trouble as several other superstars, including Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, Chris Paul, and Jonathan Kuminga, are also questionable to suit up for the season finale. Gary Payton II will remain out for his 3rd straight game because of a calf injury.

The ambiguous status of the Warriors’ big guns might put Golden State’s season in serious jeopardy. A win tomorrow gives them a chance to move up to the 8th or 9th seed. Stephen Curry and Co.’s primary focus is to finish 8th so they get two shots at the playoffs.

However, that would require the Lakers losing to the Pelicans and the Kings losing to the Trail Blazers. All the Warriors can do is win against Utah and hope for the best outcome. But will the Warriors be able to do so if Steph does not play?

Stephen Curry has been the cornerstone of the franchise for 15 long years. Not only has he revolutionized the game with his unique playing style, but he has also turned the Warriors into one of the greatest dynasties in NBA history. Curry has undoubtedly worked hard to elevate his game every year, which now makes him an elite name even at 36. Overall, he’s averaged 24.8 points, 6.4 assists, and 4.7 rebounds.

Steph is still as dominant as he was a decade ago. For sure, he’s not to be blamed for the Warriors’ terrible 2023-24 campaign.

Even in the last 10, Steph has done everything he could to propel the Warriors upwards, averaging 23.8 points, 6.7 assists, and 4.5 rebounds, leading them to an 8-2 record. It is evident how much the Warriors need Steph this Sunday.

Although the Warriors’ injury report raises concerns, Steph’s comments after yesterday’s loss comforted Dub Nation. He addressed his ankle injury during the post-game interview, saying, “I rolled it slightly, but on the scale of all the injuries I’ve ever had, this is definitely on the moderate side, so definitely I should be alright.”

So, fans can expect to see Stephen Curry on the court one more time despite what the injury report suggests.
