Golden State Warriors injury report: Latest on Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler's availability for big game against Knicks (Mar. 4)
The Golden State Warriors will face off against the New York Knicks on Tuesday in what promises to be an exciting matchup. Both Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler are expected to play for the Warriors, barring any last-minute setbacks. The Warriors were in action on Monday, securing a hard-fought 119-101 victory over the Charlotte Hornets.
Curry and Butler were key contributors in the win against the Hornets. Curry recorded a double-double, finishing with 21 points and 10 assists, while Butler added 13 points, three rebounds and four assists.
After the game, Steph Curry was asked about his availability for the Knicks game and the four-time NBA champion suggested he would be ready to suit up. Curry had rolled his right ankle during the game and was seen limping afterward.
"I think I’m going to play but if my ankle says I shouldn’t play, I won’t play," Curry said.
Meanwhile, Coach Steve Kerr was asked about the availability of his veteran stars for the second night of a back-to-back. The Warriors' head coach expressed confidence, stating that he expected both Curry and Jimmy Butler to lead the team's effort against the Knicks.
Regarding Butler, the veteran forward has been struggling with back spasms recently. The former Miami Heat star even missed the team's game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday.
On the other hand, Jonathan Kuminga has not yet been cleared for his return as he continues to recover from a right ankle sprain. Further updates on the young forward's availability are expected before Tuesday's game.
