Is Steph Curry playing tonight against OKC Thunder? Warriors 4x NBA champion's status explored (Jan. 29)

The Golden State Warriors will square off against the OKC Thunder on Wednesday, marking the second game of a back-to-back. Steph Curry sat out the first leg on Tuesday as the Warriors secured a 114-103 victory over the Utah Jazz in his absence.

Curry will play against OKC after being upgraded to "available" while managing injuries to both knees. Head coach Steve Kerr explained that the decision to rest the four-time NBA champion against the Jazz was made with the hope of keeping him healthy and available for the remainder of the week.

"It felt like with three games in the next four nights with his knees where they are, let's be smart about it and go from there," Kerr said. "We take it day-to-day, week-to-week, and it made sense to give him the night off and try to get him right for the rest of the week."

It has been a challenging season for Curry as he has been plagued by multiple lingering injuries. The two-time league MVP is currently dealing with issues in both knees as well as a right thumb injury.
