The Golden State Warriors are set to face the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night, and they will be getting Steph Curry back for this game. Curry rested Golden State’s last game against the Milwaukee Bucks, but is not listed on the injury report for this game against Memphis, meaning he is available to play.
Curry needed a day off, as he has been carrying a very heavy load for the Warriors all season long. This burden has been even bigger since Draymond Green has been out due to his indefinite suspension, as Curry has needed to not only take on more basketball responsibilities, but also leadership responsibilities.
While Curry is very capable of doing this, Steve Kerr recently mentioned how unfair it has been for the star point guard to have all of this placed on his shoulders. Now back after a one game absence, Curry will look to get him and his team on track as they attempt to regain a playoff spot in the western Conference.
The Warriors will be facing a very shorthanded Grizzlies team on Monday, as Memphis is missing almost all of their best players. Despite this, Golden State certainly cannot overlook the Grizzlies, as Memphis has a lot of players playing with something to prove. These can always be dangerous games, so the Warriors will have to be locked in on Monday night if they want to come away with a victory.
