The Golden State Warriors are set to face the Houston Rockets on Thursday night at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. Ahead of the game, the Warriors have released their injury report. The good news for fans is that Stephen Curry is not listed.
Curry’s recent performances have been so dominant that they have made him indispensable to the Warriors. The team has secured back-to-back wins, mainly due to his outstanding play. His impact has been even more noticeable since Jimmy Butler’s arrival in Golden State.
In their 125-111 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, Curry delivered another stellar performance, which marked his fourth consecutive game with 30 or more points. This achievement places him in an elite company, making him the fourth player to accomplish this feat after turning 36. Over 44 games this season, Curry has averaged 23.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 6.1 assists per game.
Meanwhile, the Warriors will be without Jonathan Kuminga, who has been ruled out for the game. On the other side, Cody Zeller is out for personal reasons, while Jabari Smith Jr. will miss the game due to a hand injury. Fred VanVleet is sidelined with an ankle issue, and Alperen Sengun is listed as questionable with a lumbar injury.
Stephen Curry Reflects On His NBA Journey And The Inevitable End
Since being drafted in 2009, Stephen Curry has been the heart and soul of the Warriors. However, in a recent interview with The San Francisco Standard, Curry spoke candidly about the reality of his eventual retirement.
“I’m not at the farewell yet. That’s just part of time. If you’re fighting human nature or fighting the inevitable in that, then I don’t think you’re handling it right. You need a little bit of fear of what’s coming, what an end might look like, to inform decisions that you’re making now and appreciate what’s going on right now,” Curry said.
