The spotlight will firmly be on Steph Curry when the Golden State Warriors take on the Denver Nuggets in an all-important Emirates NBA Cup clash at the Ball Arena on Tuesday. The Dubs may have been 3-0 in the marquee tournament, but their regular season run has been shaky with four losses in a row. They take on the Nuggets who have been a picture of inconsistency as both sides aim to restore parity to their respective campaigns.

Curry has been a regular feature in the team’s injury report knee issues. The 4x NBA champion has missed four games this season so far due to the injury. The latest updated report sees him listed as probable with ‘Bilateral Knee; Patellofemoral Pain’. The sharpshooter is still expected to suit up, barring any last-minute setbacks.

Despite being listed as questionable, Steph Curry earlier played the Phoenix Suns and propped up 23 points in the loss. If he indeed suits up on Tuesday, it will be a massive boost on offense for Golden State who are desperately looking to bounce back to winning ways.

Steph Curry weighs in on Warriors’ rotation amid four-game losing run: “It’s a unique situation

One of the more intriguing talking points about the Golden State Warriors this season has been their rotation. Head coach Steve Kerr has played a deeper roster yielding mixed results. When asked about it, Curry, speaking to the media after their loss to the Suns shared his two cents.

“The only thing I’ll say is it is hard for anybody to try and get a rhythm and know what you’re going to be asked to do. We are a unique team, it’s a unique situation. “I don’t think it’s been done in the league, probably ever. It is an 82-game schedule and you need to figure out what adjustments need to be made.”

Steph Curry and the Warriors will play Denver on Tuesday and head back to San Francisco for a three-game home stand that includes a two-game series against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Only time will tell if the Bay area side can return to the win column
