Steph Curry expected to play vs. Clippers
The fully injury report for the final game of the regular season.
The final day of the 2024-25 NBA regular season is here. The Golden State Warriors are hosting the LA Clippers, in a game with massive playoff implications. With a win, the Warriors will clinch the sixth seed, get nearly a full week off, and then face the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. With a loss, the Dubs will likely have to get back in action on Tuesday in a play-in tournament game against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Needless to say, it’s a big game. And it looks like both teams are pretty healthy.
Here’s the fully injury report.
Warriors
Available — Steph Curry (right thumb sprain)
Curry injured his thumb during Friday’s win over the Portland Trail Blazers, but returned to the game. He’s listed as available, though the Warriors don’t seem to be quite as confident. Steve Kerr said that he expects Curry to play, but isn’t positive yet.
Speaking pregame, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr says he thinks Stephen Curry — questionable with a right thumb sprain — will play. Will warm up before his playing status is determined.

Available — Gary Payton II (bilateral nasal bone fracture; facemask)
GPII is good to go, which is great given that his defense could be a difference maker against James Harden and Kawhi Leonard.
Clippers
Out — Nicolas Batum (right groin strain)
Batum has been an iron man in his 17th NBA season, as he played 78 games. But he’ll sit this one, which is a break for the Warriors ... he’s a key role player who always seems to give the Dubs fits.
Out — Patty Mills (illness)
Mills has also given the Warriors fits over the years, but his absence won’t really be felt in this one, as he’s not in the Clippers rotation. He’s only played 61 minutes for LA since being traded there on February 1.
The game tips off at 12:30 p.m. PT on NBC Sports Bay Area. It’s a big one, so enjoy the action, Dub Nation!
