Rotowire
Curry (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against Sacramento.
Curry and Draymond Green (knee) have both been cleared for action Tuesday, leaving Gary Payton (calf) as the Warriors' lone absence. Golden State will be traveling to Sacramento for Tuesday's showdown, returning to the scene of the crime where Curry dropped 50 points (20-38 FG, 7-18 3Pt) in a victorious Game 7 of last year's first-round series between these teams. Additionally, Curry averaged 31.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists in four games against the Kings this season.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Expected to play Tuesday
Rotowire
Coach Steve Kerr said Monday that Curry (ankle) is expected to play in Tuesday's Play-In Tournament matchup against the Kings, Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Curry sat out Sunday's regular-season finale due to what was deemed a right ankle sprain, but it seemed as though his absence was mainly for rest purposes ahead of the postseason. The 36-year-old will presumably be back in action once the Play-In Tournament gets underway, and he's averaged 26.0 points, 7.0 assists and 6.0 rebounds in 33.3 minutes per game over his last three appearances.
Curry (ankle) won't play Sunday versus Utah, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Curry is being listed as out with a right ankle sprain, but he'll be getting a glorified rest day in the regular-season finale. The point guard will be good to go for the start of the Western Conference Play-In Tournament during the upcoming week, but in his absence Sunday, look for Chris Paul to pick up a start.
