Stephen Curry was moved from day-to-day to cleared on the Sunday injury report, a day after he was listed out for rest. Golden State, 0-3 and on a three-game losing streak, visits Denver on Monday night.
What happened
Stephen Curry was listed as cleared on the official injury report at 5:22 p.m. ET on Sunday, Oct. 25. His previous status was day-to-day. The report gave no detail and no comment, and no return date is announced. The designation has moved several times this weekend. On Saturday he went from day-to-day to out, with the reason listed as rest. Later Saturday he was back at day-to-day for rest, and on Sunday he was listed at day-to-day for rest again before this update. Earlier this month he carried day-to-day tags for a right knee issue and a right ankle issue, and he was cleared on Wednesday, Oct. 21.
What it means for the Warriors
The Warriors play at the Nuggets on Monday, Oct. 26, at 10 p.m. ET (Peacock/NBC Sports Network). They are 0-3, in 15th place, and have lost three straight. Curry has played two games and is averaging 23.5 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 25.5 minutes. Golden State is 0-2 with him and 0-1 without him. When he sat, Yaxel Lendeborg played 34.2 minutes and Brandin Podziemski 32.9. Draymond Green played 26.1, De'Anthony Melton 22.7 and Gui Santos 22.6. Santos is day-to-day with a left knee issue. Jimmy Butler III, Moses Moody and Kristaps Porzingis are out.
What to watch
The next injury report update will show whether Curry stays off the list before the trip to Denver. No minutes limit has been announced. Santos is day-to-day with a left knee issue, and Brandon Williams (back) and Charles Bassey (right knee) are also day-to-day. Butler (right knee), Moody (left knee) and Porzingis (illness) are out. After Denver, the Warriors are still looking for their first win. Curry's weekend rest designations are the other thing to track in later reports.
