Warriors Injury Update: Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler's Status for Back-to-Back after OT Game Announced (Oct. 24) 

Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors will look to continue their unbeaten start to the new season when they take on conference rivals, the Portland Trail Blazers, at the Moda Center on Friday.

After a comprehensive 119-109 victory over the LA Lakers to tip off their season, the Warriors welcomed the Denver Nuggets to Chase Center on Thursday. Despite some defensive frailty and disjointed offensive play, Curry’s heroics down the stretch saw them secure a thrilling 137-131 overtime win at home.

Curry ended the game with 42 points, six rebounds, seven assists, and three steals in 37 minutes, going 14-of-25 from the floor and 6-of-12 from 3-point range.

Although the two-time MVP gets older year by year, his game doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon. With the team heading into its first back-to-back of the season, he’ll be looking to deliver once again.
