Is Steph Curry playing tonight against New Orleans Pelicans? Latest update as 2x MVP appears on injury report again (Nov. 22)

Golden State Warriors superstar Steph Curry is on the team's injury report for the third consecutive game. He is dealing with a right knee bursitis ahead of the team's marquee NBA Cup game against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night. Curry is available to play after being listed as probable.

The Warriors star hasn't missed a game because of this injury and the trend continues against their matchup with Pelicans. Curry picked up that knock on his right knee during the Warriors' 123-118 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. He has played every game since and has seemingly not been bothered by the ailment.

Curry has missed three games this season because of a left ankle injury. However, the Warriors went 3-0 in that stretch. The team seems deep enough this year to play out games without their best player, but having Curry in the lineup continues to make a massive difference for Golden State.

The two-time MVP is averaging 23.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game, shooting an efficient 49.1%, including 44.1% from 3-point range and 95.0% from the free throw line.
