While there are currently no injury concerns for Golden State Warriors’ star, Steph Curry, the participation of star players in preseason games remains uncertain.

This uncertainty is particularly relevant for veterans like Curry. However, the most recent update from Anthony Slater of The Athletic indicates that the star point guard is expected to take the court against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night.

Although preseason games are often considered inconsequential, a matchup between the Warriors and the Lakers always carries a degree of intrigue. Given their loss to the Lakers in last year’s Western Conference Semi-Finals, the Warriors have made significant roster changes this summer with the goal of building a more championship-ready team.

One of these changes is the addition of Chris Paul, who replaces Jordan Poole. The Warriors are counting on Paul’s veteran presence to provide stability this season. The arrival of Paul is a key reason why the Warriors are eager to have their core players participate in as many preseason games as possible. Nevertheless, there will be an adjustment period required for the team to find its groove.

Steph Curry’s versatility and ability to play off the ball make him a compatible fit alongside any teammate, and the Warriors are enthusiastic about his partnership with Paul. However, this partnership is a work in progress, and each preseason game presents an opportunity for this duo to gain valuable on-court experience together.
