Lester Quinones led the Warriors with 17 points on 7-of-16 shooting from the field with five rebounds in 33 minutes off the bench on Sunday. Moses Moody was the only member of Golden State’s starting unit to score in double-figures with 11 points.

Injury Report: Steph Curry (right knee) questionable vs. Celtics on Sunday

The Warriors point guard is listed as questionable for Sunday’s contest against the Celtics.

In a tough battle against the Boston Celtics, the Golden State Warriors could be without their All-Star point guard.

Steph Curry is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Eastern Conference’s top team due to right knee bursitis. Along with Curry, rookie guard Brandin Podziemski is also listed as questionable on Sunday due to right knee inflammation.

Curry played in the first three games of the road trip.

Via @anthonyVslater on X, formerly known as Twitter:

Curry is averaging 27.5 points per game to go along with five assists and 4.4 rebounds during the 2023-24 campaign. Curry is coming off 25 point and 31 point performances in his last two games.

If both Curry and Podziemski are unable tp play on Sunday, Chris Paul will likely handle most of the point guard responsibilities against the Celtics.
