Thus, the Golden State Warriors handed the Utah Jazz a 114-123 loss. However, given the recent developments across the league with one star after another falling prey to injuries, Curry’s injury updates become important, not just for the team but also for Dub Nation.

Is Stephen Curry playing against the LA Clippers tonight?

Yes, Stephen Curry is going to face James Harden and Co. on Monday at Intuit Dome. The medical staff has seemingly cleared the Baby-Faced Assassin of the ankle issue. This simply means another episode of The Stephen Curry Show awaits the audience. Now, looking back at his latest heroics vs. the Jazz, it’s safe to say that Steph is running Golden State’s battered wagon.

Stephen Curry closed the night at 31, powered by a jaw-dropping 20-point eruption after the interval. Steering Golden State past Utah 123-114. Back from a one-game absence with a sore left ankle, the guard stayed quiet early, scoring nine. But by halftime, the Warriors trailed 65-58. However, everything flipped in Q3. Curry seized control of a 42-31 third-quarter blitz that placed the night firmly under the Dubs’ command.
