Stephen Curry’s Golden State Warriors suffered another setback on Friday night, falling 115-107 to the Houston Rockets in Game 6 of their first-round playoff series. This marks the second straight loss for the Warriors, following a disappointing Game 5 defeat. With the series now tied at 3-3, everything will come down to a nail-biting Game 7.
The final game of the series is scheduled for Sunday and will take place at the Toyota Center in Houston. The winner of this game will advance to face the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round.
Despite dealing with a severely bruised knuckle on his shooting hand, Stephen Curry has managed to remain active throughout the first-round series. Compared to the regular season, Curry appears to be in better overall health, though he is not playing at 100 percent. The Warriors’ latest injury report confirms that Curry will be available for Sunday’s game.
Gary Payton II is the only other player listed on the Warriors’ injury report, currently dealing with a thumb issue. Given the do-or-die nature of Game 7, Curry’s presence on the court is not just likely; it’s a must.
