Stephen Curry is undoubtedly the best player on the Golden State Warriors and when he's not on the court, the Warriors have struggled to have success. Following a blowout loss to the Toronto Raptors on Friday, the Warriors have now been outscored by 133 points in the eight games that Curry has missed this season, via SB Nation's Brady Klopfer.

Altogether, Curry has missed games against the Charlotte Hornets, the Phoenix Suns, the Memphis Grizzlies, the Philadelphia 76ers, the Sacramento Kings, the Atlanta Hawks, and the Raptors. Besides the single-digit losses to the Hornets and the Grizzlies, the Warriors have lost the rest of those games by double-digits.
Golden State's most recent loss was one of the worst in franchise history as Toronto dominated them en route to a 53-point win. Curry has missed some time recently due to a tailbone injury and he isn't back to one-hundred percent just yet.
But if the Warriors hope to make a late-season playoff push, they're going to need Curry available for nearly every game for the rest of the season. As of this moment, Golden State holds the No. 10 seed in the Western Conference with a 23-26 record, losing seven out of their last 10 games.
What makes Golden State's struggles this season even worse is the fact they lead the league in luxury tax, spending nearly a quarter of a billion dollars to produce the results they currently have. With the Warriors looking to get back on track before it is too late, they're excited to have Curry available on Sunday versus the Atlanta Hawks.
