Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry had to miss a week of action after suffering a pelvic contusion on March 20 against the Toronto Raptors.
Since Curry's return on March 28, the Warriors have gotten back to their winning ways. And, on Thursday, they extended their winning streak to four after defeating LeBron James, Luka Doncic and the Los Angeles Lakers 123-116.
Curry, coming off a 52-point outing against the Grizzlies, had another solid night against the Lakers, tallying 37 points and six assists. Doncic, on the other hand, did not make a 3-point shot for the first time in 144 games.
The Warriors, eying a fifth consecutive win, have another challenge on Friday night, facing Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets. But Golden State's injury report is a bit concerning.
According to The Athletic's Anthony Slater, along with the official NBA injury report, the Warriors have listed Curry as questionable for Friday night's game, still working through his left pelvic contusion.
Along with Curry, Jimmy Butler (left forearm strain) and Gary Payton II (left thumb ligament partial tear) have also been ruled as questionable against the Nuggets.
"Jimmy Butler, Steph Curry and Gary Payton II will be listed as questionable for the Warriors tonight vs Nuggets," Slater wrote on X. "Butler has a forearm strain, but it's minor. Curry still has that bruised tailbone. Payton could make his return from absence from thumb injury."

Following the second night of their back-to-back against the Nuggets, Curry and the Warriors will have Saturday night off before hosting Dillon Brooks and the Houston Rockets on Sunday.
