Is Steph Curry playing tonight? Latest injury update for Lakers vs Warriors March 16
Steph Curry's been out with an ankle sprain.
The Los Angeles Lakers are staring down one of their most important games of the season. On Saturday, the No. 9 Lakers will host the No. 10 Warriors, meaning LA would also host Golden State in the Play-In Tournament if the season ended today.
LA has won three of its last five, while Golden State has won two of its last five. Without Steph Curry, who sprained his ankle against the Bulls, the Warriors are 1-2. You couldn't technically say Golden State is 1-3 without him, although the Warriors were up by three points with four minutes left to play when Curry got hurt, but ended up losing by three.
