Warriors' Stephen Curry: Scores nine points vs. Clippers
Rotowire
Curry finished Saturday's 91-90 preseason win over the Clippers with nine points (2-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two assists, one rebound and one steal across 14 minutes.
None of the Warriors' starters, including Curry, played more than 20 minutes in the preseason opener Saturday, but the two-time MVP managed to lead the starting five in scoring. Who will replace Klay Thompson in the backcourt next to Curry hasn't been solidified, but De'Anthony Melton got the nod over Brandin Podziemski on Saturday. The 36-year-old Curry will continue to serve as the focal point of the Warriors' offense as he enters his 15th season in the NBA.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Gets one-year extension
Rotowire
Curry agreed to a one-year, $62.6 million extension with the Warriors on Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Curry has been one of the most reliable scorers in the league throughout his career, and his new deal will keep him under contract with Golden State through the 2026-27 season. The 36-year-old will be part of a new-look backcourt during the 2024-25 campaign after the Warriors moved on from Klay Thompson over the summer, but Curry should continue to be the focal point for the offense and among the top fantasy guards during the upcoming season.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Game-high eight threes for gold
Rotowire
Curry accumulated 24 points (8-13 FG, 8-12 3Pt), five assists, two steals and one rebound across 30 minutes in Team USA's 98-87 win over France in the gold medal game of the Paris Olympics on Saturday.
Curry was vital for Team USA in securing the gold medal, and France had no answer for the sharpshooter as he made it rain threes. The superstar was crucial down the stretch, with several of his three-pointers coming in the last few minutes of the contest. The 36-year-old had his share of struggles during the Olympics, but he followed a 36-point outing against Serbia on Thursday with a 24-point performance against France. In six Olympic contests, Curry averaged 14.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists across 23.2 minutes while shooting 47.8 percent from deep.

Rotowire
Curry compiled 36 points (12-19 FG, 9-14 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Thursday's 95-91 semifinal victory over Serbia.
Coming back from a 17-point deficit, Team USA was led by Curry. He got off to a hot start, keeping his personal momentum throughout the game and eventually sealing the game with two free throws. The only other players to score in double digits were Joel Embiid (19) and LeBron James (16), who also had a triple-double. Now comes a matchup against France for the gold medal.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Held in check vs. South Sudan
Rotowire
Curry logged three points (1-9 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists and one rebound in 21 minutes during Team USA's 103-86 win over South Sudan on Wednesday.
Curry was one of six players to score in double figures for Team USA during Sunday's win over Serbia, as he totaled 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists in 21 minutes. Although he saw slightly more looks from the floor Wednesday, he couldn't get his shot to fall, especially from beyond the arc. Despite Wednesday's disappointing performance, Curry should remain one of Team USA's top perimeter options as the club attempts to win a fifth consecutive Olympic gold medal.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Removed from injury report
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.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Sitting out Sunday
Rotowire
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.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Questionable against Jazz
Rotowire
Curry is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jazz with a right ankle sprain.
This is a new issue for Curry, but it's worth mentioning that coach Steve Kerr said Friday that he was planning to rest several players against the Jazz even though the Warriors are still jostling for seeding. There should be more clarity following the morning shootaround.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Carries load in victory
Rotowire
Curry finished Thursday's 100-92 victory over Portland with 22 points (8-22 FG, 5-16 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal across 36 minutes.
Curry drilled five three-pointers and prevailed against the Trail Blazers despite absences from Draymond Green (knee) and Klay Thompson (knee). Although the Warriors are guaranteed a spot in the Play-In Tournament, they have three more games to improve their seeding. Curry should play a full complement of minutes as the team makes a final push for eighth place.

Curry totaled 23 points (7-9 FG, 6-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 134-120 win over the Lakers.
The Warriors hung 26 three-pointers on the Lakers, and Curry was perfect from downtown. The Warriors closed the gap to one game behind the Lakers in the West with three games remaining. If Curry can will the Warriors past the Pelicans later in the week, the other two games against the Trail Blazers and Jazz are very winnable.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Curry (rest) isn't listed on Golden State's injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Lakers.
Curry took a seat for Sunday's win over Utah, but as expected, he'll return to action Tuesday. Over his last 12 appearances, the sharpshooter has averaged 24.0 points, 5.6 assists and 4.6 rebounds in 32.1 minutes per game.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Resting Sunday
Rotowire
Curry won't play Sunday against the Jazz due to rest.
After averaging 32.1 minutes while playing in each of Golden State's last 12 games, Curry will get a breather Sunday versus a non-contending club before the Warriors return to action for a more important matchup Tuesday versus the Lakers. Expect Chris Paul to start at point guard Sunday in Curry's stead, and Brandin Podziemski should also be in store for an uptick in playing time out of the backcourt.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Drops 28 points in loss
Rotowire
Curry recorded 28 points (9-23 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 108-106 loss to the Mavericks.
Curry was easily Golden State's leading scorer Friday, as no other Warrior finished with more than 16 points. The superstar point guard had been uncharacteristically reserved from deep over his previous two contests with just 11 total attempts, but he was back to his usual ways with 14 three-point tries against Dallas. Curry's 26.5 points per game on the campaign is in line with his career norm, but his 44.8 percent field-goal rate is down over four percent in comparison to last season.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Bounces back in win over Houston
Rotowire
Curry accumulated 29 points (9-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 9-9 FT), six rebounds and six assists across 31 minutes during Thursday's 133-110 win over the Rockets.
Curry was coming off a 13-point effort in the tight win over the Mavericks on Tuesday, but it was clear he was going to bounce back, either in terms of efficiency or volume, sooner rather than later. Curry has scored at least 23 points in three of his last four appearances, and he'll need to catch fire offensively if he wants to carry the Warriors to a playoff berth in the ultra-competitive Western Conference. Curry will look to avenge that 13-point effort when Golden State takes on Dallas on Friday in the second half of a back-to-back set.

Rotowire
Curry finished with 13 points (5-18 FG, 3-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 104-100 win over Dallas.
Overall, Curry struggled from the field despite looking sharp from deep. His shooting woes were somewhat mitigated by his contributions across other categories, as he ended three rebounds and three assists shy of a triple-double. Curry is expected to bounce back from a scoring perspective when the Warriors face the Rockets on Thursday in what's a must-win for both teams in the playoff race.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Dishes 10 dimes vs. Orlando
Rotowire
Curry finished with 17 points (6-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and 10 assists over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 101-93 victory over the Magic.
Wednesday marked the fourth time this season that Curry has tallied 10 assists or more, and he's now registered seven double-doubles on the year. It was the first time he reached double-digit assists since Feb. 15 against the Jazz, as he took on a larger role in the passing game after Draymond Green was ejected early in the first quarter. Curry hasn't been as efficient with his shot as of late and is averaging 21.4 points per game on 40.6 percent shooting, including 35.8 percent from three on 11.2 attempts per contest, in March.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Leading scorer in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Curry chipped in 31 points (9-21 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 loss to Minnesota.
It's the second time in the last five games Curry has topped 30 points, and the future Hall of Famer looks fully recovered from the ankle injury that cost him the three games prior. During that stretch, the 36-year-old guard has averaged 25.6 points, 5.6 boards, 4.4 threes and 4.2 assists, and in March, he's drained at least three treys in all eight games in which he played 24-plus minutes.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Double-double not enough Friday
Rotowire
Curry totaled 25 points (9-24 FG, 6-18 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes during Friday's 123-111 loss to the Pacers.
Curry struggled from three-point range and didn't have his best scoring performance, but surprisingly, he made his presence felt in the rebounding department, as his 11 rebounds tied his season-high mark in that category. Curry continues to make it rain from deep after breaking the 300-threes-made barrier earlier this week. However, he's making only 35.1 percent of his three-pointers since the beginning of March.
