The Golden State Warriors' fortunes hinge heavily on the status of Stephen Curry.
After he missed their last game with a knee issue, the latest injury report lists the star guard as probable for tonight's matchup against the Utah Jazz, offering hope for a team desperate to stabilize its season.
Latest on Stephen Curry's Status
Following a rest day to manage a lingering knee injury, Stephen Curry's status has been upgraded to probable for tonight's game. He described
the sensation as something new, stating, “Something flared up... It was super
weird. Like, I’ve had stuff going on — quads and whatnot — but it was something
that I hadn’t felt before.” His
return is critical; the Warriors are 1-0 with him and 0-1 without him in their
recent back-to-back set.
