Is Stephen Curry playing tonight against Hawks? Latest injury update on Warriors' star ahead of matchup (16th March 2023)

Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors will be looking to return to winning ways against the Atlanta Hawks later tonight.

Stephen Curry put up 50 points against the LA Clippers on Wednesday on 20-of-28 shooting, but the Golden State Warriors have listed him as questionable against the Atlanta Hawks due to a sore left thumb.

The Warriors medical staff is closely monitoring his condition after limiting him during Thursday's practice. Curry has faced several injuries this season, forcing him to miss 26 games so far.

Steve Kerr expects Curry to play, but the final decision will be made by the medical staff. The Warriors will be without Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala and Andrew Wiggins, which could be critical as they try to snap a nine-game road losing streak. The game against a near full-strength Atlanta Hawks will be tough, especially if Curry is unavailable.

The Golden State Warriors, already preparing to face the Atlanta Hawks on Friday without suspended Draymond Green, could be without Stephen Curry as well.

If Stephen Curry doesn't play, Warriors have a tough ask against Hawks

The Golden State Warriors are experiencing a severe shortage of players due to injuries and other factors. Their star player, Steph Curry, may not be able to play in the upcoming game against the Atlanta Hawks due to left thumb soreness. Starting center Kevon Looney is also dealing with lower back soreness, but is expected to play.

Several other players are unavailable due to injuries or technical fouls, leaving only seven players on the roster for the upcoming game. Ryan Rollins cannot play this season, while Gary Payton II is yet to return to full health. Draymond Green is suspended while Andrew Wiggins will also be missing due to personal reasons against the Hawks.

The Golden State Warriors will be looking at Klay Thompson to come up with the goods against a talented Atlanta Hawks side expected to be at full strength.

Stephen Curry at LAC:

⚡️ 12th career 50-piece (9th most in NBA History)

⚡️ Tied Wilt Chamberlain for the most 50-point games after turning 30

⚡️ 1 of only 6 players in NBA history to record a 50-point game after turning 35 https://t.co/UjMKhalyTd

The Warriors have not won a game on the road since January and their chances might take a major hit if Stephen Curry does not play. At the age of 35, Curry is averaging big numbers. The Warriors might not look like title contenders, but can still pack a punch once the absentees return.
