The Golden State Warriors could not stop the Houston Rockets in six games. Now, it all comes down to Game 7 at the Toyota Center. In this decisive elimination game, Stephen Curry and co will need to leave it all out there on the court if they want to advance to the next round of the Playoffs and set up a meeting with the Minnesota Timberwolves. And considering Curry’s record in Game 7s, the Dubs will need him.

But there are a few things about this matchup that will still concern the Warriors. The foremost being Steph and the injury he’s been dealing with all season long. Is he compromised? Will he miss the most pivotal game of the series? Let’s find the answers to all those questions by looking at the Dubs’ injury report.

Golden State Warriors Injury Report – Will Stephen Curry play in Game 7 tonight?

We were greeted with a concerning visual in Game 6 as Steph walked through the tunnel at the end of Game 6. He stopped to talk to a worried Ayesha Curry, and his body language was that of a man struggling. Now, this could be down to the Dubs being in a losing position. Or it could be the thumb injury that Steph has played with for the better part of this season. Moreover, his presence on the Dubs’ injury report probably doesn’t make things any less worrying.

But what we’ll tell you next may help with your anxiety. The Dubs’ injury report lists Stephen Curry as AVAILABLE for Game 7 against the Houston Rockets. Hence, he will be playing in Game 7 against the Rockets, barring a last-minute change or an unforeseen injury. Although Curry will play this game with a splint on his right thumb. However, it’s not just Steph who’s on the Dubs’ injury report.

Gary Payton II is also on the Dubs’ injury report, listed as AVAILABLE. He also has a thumb injury and will require a splint on his left thumb. Nonetheless, he’s available for Steve Kerr to select in this decisive game if he so chooses. And Gary will be a good addition to the Dubs’ depth ahead of this game.

But no one is a bigger boost to the Dubs’ chances in Game 7 than Steph Curry. And it’s got to do with his record in Game 7s that we alluded to earlier.

Steph Curry has one of the best Game 7 records in NBA history; will he show up when it matters the most?

Now, you may ask, how can we call a 3-2 record in Game 7s one of the best in history? Well, for starters, that’s still a winning record, but even that’s besides the point. The real record to gawk at is the numbers Steph Curry puts up when he’s in the 7th game of a series.

Steph averages a staggering 32.6 points per game across five Game 7s played in his career. Only 3 players have a better average than him. And they’re all bona fide legends. They are — Kevin Durant, LeBron James, and Michael Jordan. Calling them elite company for Curry would be doing all 4 of them a disservice. Regardless, scoring is not all he does in these high-stakes games.

Curry also manages to add 7 assists and 6.4 rebounds to his team’s tallies. And in his last Game 7 against the Sacramento Kings back in 2023, Curry went crazy. He made 7 3-pointers and 20 field goals, putting up a 50-point performance to ensure victory over his team qualified for the next round of the Playoffs.

All in all, the Dubs will need this Stephen Curry to show up tonight at the Toyota Center. And knowing Steph, he’ll do his best to make sure that’s the case. So make sure to tune into this game!
