Overview

  • Golden State ruled Stephen Curry out with right patellofemoral pain syndrome, and he remains day-to-day without a clear return timeline after telling ESPN his knee is improving but still painful.
  • The Lakers downgraded Luka Dončić to out with a left hamstring strain following his exit from Thursday's win over Philadelphia.
  • Kristaps Porziņģis is with the Warriors but will not play as he continues left Achilles tendon injury management following his trade to Golden State.
  • LeBron James is available for Los Angeles as the teams meet Saturday at Crypto.com Arena in an ABC telecast, with the Warriors at 28–24 and the Lakers at 31–19 in the Western Conference race.
  • Curry will miss his third straight game and 14th this season, bringing him closer to the NBA’s 65-game requirement for All-NBA consideration after Golden State showed resilience in a comeback win at Phoenix without him.
