Is Steph Curry playing tonight against Portland Trail Blazers? Latest on 2-time NBA MVP's status (April 11)

Steph Curry will play on Thursday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Golden State Warriors star isn't on the team's injury report. He's been relatively healthy this season, missing just over a handful of games because of injuries. Curry has played 72 of the team's 79 games, averaging 26.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 5.1 assists.

Despite being 10th in the standings with three games left in the season, the Warriors are still alive in the top-six race, thanks to Curry's durability and consistency. He's led the team to wins in stretches where they could have been fighting to avoid the lottery instead before his supporting cast came alive after February.

The Warriors have a relatively easy game against the shorthanded Portland team, but they still have to win all their remaining games to have a shot at a top-six finish. Curry's availability remains crucial in that regard, and the Dubs hope to make the most of it.

What happened to Steph Curry?

Steph Curry's most recent injury-related absence was because of a right ankle sprain. He sustained the injury on Mar. 7's 125-122 loss against the Chicago Bulls. Curry rolled his ankle in the clutch. It was feared to be a long-term issue, but he managed to avoid a significant injury.

He missed three games because of that. The two-time NBA MVP dealt with a knee ailment before that in November, which forced him to miss two games. The Warriors played two more games without Curry, but he was rested for those contests.
