Is Steph Curry playing tonight against Dallas Mavericks? Latest update on 2x MVP's status for marquee game (Dec. 15)

Steph Curry is questionable to play against the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday night. The Golden State Warriors superstar is on the injury report, citing a right cervical facet inflammation. Curry is dealing with a new ailment, which is impacting his neck area. Before this, he was dealing with knee soreness in both his legs.

The latest injury setback is an age-related wear and tear. Curry, 36, could be facing stiffness and pain in his neck, shoulders, upper back and arms because of this issue. It's another non-contact injury holding him back, and the Warriors can only hope that the situation doesn't worsen for the two-time MVP.

With the Warriors last playing on Wednesday, Steph Curry has received some timely relief to rest and potentially suit up for Sunday's game. However, he will likely be a game-time decision.

Steph Curry is averaging 23.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.7 assists in 44 games against the Dallas Mavericks, winning 28 times. One of those wins came when the Warriors hosted the Mavericks earlier this season on Nov. 11 in an emotionally inducing game for Curry and his former "Splash Bro," Klay Thompson, who made his comeback to the Chase Center as an opponent for the first time.

Curry went off in that contest, dropping 37 points, six rebounds, nine assists and two blocks, shooting 51.9%, including 5 of 12 from 3. The Warriors won that battle 120-117 in a close encounter.

A lot has changed since. The Warriors haven't displayed that kind of form in a while, losing seven of their last nine games, and the Mavericks have been much better, winning 11 of their last 13 games.
