Is Steph Curry playing tonight against Sacramento Kings? Exploring 2x MVP's status for preseason game (Oct. 9)

Steph Curry is expected to suit up for the Golden State Warriors in their second preseason game on Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings. He also played in their preseason opener on Saturday against the LA Clippers. Curry tallied nine points in 14 minutes of action.

He shot 2 of 8 and missed all four of his 3-point attempts. However, Curry managed to get to the free-throw line five times and made all of them. He also had a couple of assists as he began his ramp-up preparations before opening night.

Curry had a slow start by his standards and will hope to produce a more efficient night if he's available against the Kings.

Steph Curry draws MVP chants in his 2024 preseason debut

Steph Curry's fandom remains the same wherever he goes. He had a subpar game against the Clippers in Hawaii, but the fans were still pumped to see him. MVP chants mid-contest summed up Curry's liking among the crowd.

It didn't matter much that he had an underwhelming game from a box-score standpoint, as Curry still found ways to make an impact. It is what sets him apart from his competition.

The Warriors will hope that continues once the season begins. They aren't expected to be among the top six teams this year after failing to make the playoffs and losing Klay Thompson in free agency.

While the Warriors have made marginal upgrades to their roster, there's a significant void to fill. Steph Curry doesn't have a complementary star who can be a reliable second option on the team and take pressure off him.

The Warriors were in the hunt this summer to add that kind of talent after pursuing Lauri Markkenen. However, they fell short of the Utah Jazz's price. Markkanen re-signed with the Jazz and ended the Warriors' pursuit. Golden State also failed to land Paul George, who joined the Sixers in free agency.
