Stephen Curry (knee injury management) has been ruled out for Thursday’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors.
Steve Kerr had already revealed that Curry would sit out one of Golden State’s two games on Thursday and Friday. This means that Curry will likely suit up against the Sacramento Kings on Friday.
If one of the goals of Curry’s ramp up is to get playing time with Kristaps Porzingis, then perhaps that played a role in this decision, as Porzingis has been ruled out with an illness. It’s not clear if Porzingis will be available for Friday’s game.
For the Lakers, Luka Doncic (hamstring) and Austin Reaves (oblique) are out, but LeBron James is set to return after missing Tuesday’s game against the Thunder with a foot injury.
