Steph Curry Cleared to Play as Warriors Look for Revenge Against Blazers
If you’re wondering whether Steph Curry is playing tonight against the Portland Trail Blazers, the short answer is yes — and that’s big news for the Golden State Warriors. After spending five games on the sidelines with a quad injury, Curry has already made his return, and it couldn’t have looked more encouraging.
On Friday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Curry was back on the floor and immediately reminded everyone why he’s still one of the most dangerous scorers in the NBA. Any concerns about rust were quickly put to rest, as 39 points were poured in by the two-time MVP. It was one of those classic Curry performances where the shots kept falling, the movement looked sharp, and the confidence was clearly there. Even though Golden State ended up losing that game 127–120, his return was seen as a major positive.

Now, heading into Sunday night’s matchup against Portland, the focus has shifted to availability and health. Quad injuries can be tricky, and sometimes teams choose to rest stars for precautionary reasons after their first game back. But that won’t be happening here. Curry is not listed on the official injury report, which means he’s been cleared and will be available to play against the Blazers.
Overall, the Warriors are coming into this game in pretty good shape health-wise. Al Horford is the only player listed on the injury report for Golden State, and he has been ruled out due to a right sciatic nerve issue. This will be his fourth straight missed game. Aside from that, the roster is largely intact, which hasn’t always been the case for the Warriors this season.
On the other side, Portland is dealing with a long list of absences. Several key players have already been ruled out, leaving the Blazers shorthanded once again. That context matters, especially when you consider that this will be the third meeting between these two teams this season.
So far, the Blazers have had the upper hand, winning both earlier matchups — one back in October and another in November. Because of that, a sense of urgency is expected from Golden State. With Curry healthy, active, and coming off a 39-point night, this game feels like an opportunity for the Warriors to flip the script.
All signs point to Curry being fully involved and ready to lead. For fans, that means another night where anything feels possible the moment he steps across half court.
