Before the Thursday night clash between the Golden State Warriors and the Philadelphia 76ers, the home side prepared for the possible scratch for the highly experienced, trusted small forward Steph Curry.

The Warriors issued their report regarding injuries where Curry was listed as likely to miss the game because of a thumb problem. Some hours to the game, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said that Curry had been listed as probable for the game. Burish, the guard had to wrap his thumb for his warm up but the head coach was left with the impression that Curry would be fit to compete against the Sixers.

Pau has been cleared and Curry is now listed as probable, so he is good to go at this juncture.Klay Thompson (hamstring) out for Saturday, Andre Iguodala (ankle) probable Thursday, Kevin Durant (hamstring) questionable Thursday, Stephen Curry (thumb) probable Thursday.

Tonight is the first of two showdowns for both the Sixers and the Warriors this season.

Curry played in the last two games. During the Warriors’ December 28 game with the Phoenix Suns, Curry played 35 minutes. He released 22 points on 41% shooting from the field. He also got six boards and six dimes. Curry contributed to the warriors getting a four point victory over the suns.

Two days later the Warriors faced the Cleveland Cavaliers in their game. Curry really was not accurate during the shooting spree as he compiled field goals in 29 shooting attempts which amounted to only a 29% shooting form. Kobe Bryant had 11 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists by the end of the game.

Nevertheless, Curry has a scoring average of 22, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in 26 games this season. The Warriors’ record is 4-2 this year in the six games that Curry has not played. He will not have to worry about that in their Thursday night’s game against Philadelphia.

Going into the night, the Warriors have won 16 of their 32 games; however, they have only managed three wins in their last ten games. However, Sixers are at 13-18 position instead. Although they have claimed victory in seven of their last ten games, a four-game winning plan was lost in Sacramento on Wednesday.
