Stephen Curry injury status vs. Suns
Stephen Curry is ruled out on the injury report, as he will miss his Tuesday's 113-94 loss to the Detroit Pistons. He will also miss Thursday's matchup. Curry's MRI revealed the severity of his knee injury, which was the fact that he missed a major injury.
The Warriors have lost five of their last seven games, incluiding a 26-point blowout (111-85) to the Timberwolves, and an 18-point loss (145-127) to the Raptors. Due to his knee injury, Curry has been in and out of the lineup throughout the Warriors' previous seven-game stretch.
Despite a slight dip in his production, Curry has remained consistent in January, averaging 24.6 points on 46.7% shooting, including a 38.4% clip from deep, 5.9 assists, and 1.0 steals per game. The Warriors dropped to 27-24 on the season, and will look to bounce back from their two-game skid without Curry on Thursday.
Therefore, when it comes to the question of whether Stephen Curry is playing tonight vs. the Suns, the answer is no.
