Stephen Curry expected to play against Thunder - ESPN

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is expected to play Saturday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, coach Steve Kerr told reporters.

Curry participated in a walkthrough and will take the court barring a setback during pregame warmups, Kerr said.

Following a hard fall Sunday while playing the Minnesota Timberwolves, Curry missed games against the Timberwolves on Tuesday or the Thunder on Thursday. An MRI taken earlier in the week had shown no structural damage in his right knee.

The Warriors, who have lost five straight games, won't have guard Gary Payton II on Saturday due to a strained muscle in his left foot. He is set to be reevaluated over the weekend.

Curry is averaging 30.7 points per game this season on 48.8% shooting from the floor, including 44.6% from 3. He has scored at least 30 points in six games — scoring 40 or more in two.
