Sunday’s game in Portland marked the first time since 2018 that Curry did not make a shot from beyond the arc, ending an NBA-record stretch of 268 regular-season games with a 3-pointer. Curry finished 0-for-8 from deep. Curry also owns the second longest such streak in NBA history (157 games).

While Curry struggled to find the bottom of the net, teammates Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins picked him up against the Trail Blazers on Sunday evening, Thompson tallied 28 points while Wiggins tacked on 25 points off the bench to help secure a 118-114 win over the Trail Blazers.

Injury Report: Warriors’ Draymond Green (knee) upgraded to probable vs. Blazers on Tuesday

After missing two games, the Golden State forward has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday’s contest against Portland.

After playing two games without three All-Star caliber players, the Golden State Warriors could be getting some much-needed reinforcements on Tuesday night against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Following a two-game absence due to a knee contusion, Draymond Green has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday’s contest at San Francisco’s Chase Center.

Green was ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves after his knee flared up according to Steve Kerr. Green underwent an MRI that later came back clean.

Via @anthonyVslater on Twitter:

Despite Green’s return, the Warriors will still be without starters Steph Curry (lower leg) and Andrew Wiggins (personal reasons) for Tuesday’s contest against Portland.

With Green’s expected return, Jonathan Kuminga will likely shift back to a role off the bench. Green will likely re-join the starting lineup alongside Jordan Poole, Klay Thompson, Donte DiVincenzo and Kevon Looney.

During the 2022-23 season, Green is averaging 8.1 points on 51.7% shooting from the field with 7.4 rebounds and 6.8 assists in 31.5 minutes per game.
