Is Steph Curry playing tonight against the Dallas Mavericks? Latest on 10x NBA All-Star's status?

Playing in his 15th NBA season, Steph Curry is considered one of the all-time greats to have ever played basketball. Despite a challenging season for the Golden State Warriors, he remains a consistent light for his team. In a scheduled final head-to-head meeting against the Dallas Mavericks, fans wonder if he will play tonight.

The 10-time NBA All-Star is not included in the team's injury report and can play on the court. Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is questionable for tonight's matchup.

With only a few days remaining for the NBA Playoffs, the Warriors are in 10th place (42-34 record) in the Western Conference standings. They still have six games remaining before the regular season wraps up.

They have also given themselves a good cushion over the 11th-place (38-38) Houston Rockets. The latter was previously neck-and-neck in the standings with the Warriors.

Moreover, the Warriors can tie the regular season series at 2 apiece as they have the advantage over Dallas in their first two head-to-head meetings.
