Steph Curry will play in the Golden State Warriors’ first home game of the 2024-25 NBA regular season against the LA Clippers on Sunday. The Warriors have a clean injury report, giving coach Steve Kerr full access to his roster, including superstar Curry.
There was some concern about Curry’s fitness before Golden State’s previous game against the Utah Jazz on Friday, as he was listed as questionable with a right hip contusion. However, the four-time NBA champion pushed past the discomfort and led the team to victory over the Jazz.

A key factor behind Curry’s limited workload has been Buddy Hield’s strong start to the season. Through two games, the veteran guard is averaging 24.5 points, shooting 69.2% from the field, including an impressive 75% from beyond the arc. His production off the bench has allowed Curry to enjoy more rest on the sidelines.
“The guy just loves to play basketball,” Curry said about Hield after the Warriors’ win over the Trail Blazers. “He loves to hoop, loves to be in the gym. He’s got a great personality.

“Without Klay, you needed shooting, we needed shooting anyway. We know what the skillset is, we know what he’s capable of. It’s been a very seamless transition so far.” Curry added.
