Warriors' Stephen Curry: Struggles with shot Tuesday
Rotowire
Curry finished Tuesday's 126-102 loss to Oklahoma City with 11 points (4-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and one steal in 20 minutes.
It's odd to see Curry struggle with his shot as much as he did Tuesday, though, to be fair, the star guard was returning from a three-game absence due to an illness. Curry isn't expected to shoot the ball this poorly on a regular basis, and it wouldn't be surprising if he bounces back as soon as Wednesday against the Spurs in the second leg of a back-to-back set -- assuming he's cleared to play in a back-to-back set following his recent issues.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Cleared to play Tuesday
Rotowire
Curry (illness) will play Tuesday against the Thunder.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said after Sunday's 114-83 win over the Pacers that he expected Curry to play, and now he's no longer appearing on the injury report. With Curry set to return from a three-game absence, it will be interesting to see how the Warriors handle his minutes during the back-to-back set. With Curry back, guys like Buddy Hield, Will Richard and Pat Spencer could be less involved.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Tracking toward playing Tuesday
Rotowire
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said after Sunday's 114-83 win over the Pacers that he expects Curry (illness) to be available for Tuesday's game against the Thunder, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
Curry missed his third game in a row Sunday due to an illness, which he picked up during the Warriors' recent road trip that included stops in Indianapolis and Milwaukee. Though he was able to play through the ailment in Tuesday's win over the Suns, he felt fatigued during the second half, prompting the Warriors to hold him out of action for a few days. Curry has seemingly responded well to five full days of rest, so he looks like he'll be ready to return to action when Golden State kicks off a five-city, six-game road trip Tuesday. The two-time league MVP's upcoming return will leave fewer minutes to go around in the backcourt for Brandon Podziemski, Will Richard, Pat Spencer and Buddy Hield.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Struggles to find rhythm
Rotowire
Curry posted 24 points (8-23 FG, 4-16 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Saturday's 114-109 loss to the Pacers.
This was an uncharacteristic performance from Curry across the board, as he finished with a season low in rebounds and assists. While he still managed to lead the Warriors in scoring, he seemed to be forcing his shot at times. This comes just a few days after he cruised to a 4-for-10 showing from downtown against Milwaukee, so it's likely only a matter of time before he bounces back.
Curry compiled 27 points (8-19 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one steal and five turnovers in 35 minutes during Thursday's 120-110 loss to the Bucks.
The Warriors had won their previous three meetings with the Bucks, but they weren't able to get the job done Thursday night, despite solid performances from Curry and Jimmy Butler. Butler notched his first double-double of the season and finished with 23 points (7-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and two turnovers in the 10-point loss.
Warriors' Stephen Curry: Dishes out eight assists in win
Rotowire
Curry contributed 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight assists, two rebounds and two steals across 26 minutes in Tuesday's 98-79 win over the Clippers.
The superstar point guard struggled from beyond the arc but still finished as the Warriors' second-leading scorer behind Jimmy Butler (21). Curry also dished out a game-high eight assists, recording five-plus for the second time through five regular-season games. He's averaging 27.0 points, 5.0 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.8 steals across 30.4 minutes per contest thus far.
Warriors' Stephen Curry: Takes back seat in Monday's win
Rotowire
Curry ended with 16 points (5-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes during Monday's 131-118 victory over Memphis.
While he drained at least three three-pointers for the fourth straight game to begin the season, Curry was content to let the Warriors' younger players lead the way, as Jonathan Kuminga, Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody all scored 20-plus points. Curry has had no trouble gearing up when needed so far, however, averaging 29.0 points, 5.0 threes, 4.3 boards, 4.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.0 blocks in the early going while shooting 51.4 percent from the floor and 45.5 percent from beyond the arc.
