Will 11-time All-Star Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry suit up against the Milwaukee Bucks in their clash on Tuesday?

Heading into the game, the Warriors had been thinking of sitting Curry against the Bucks due to a low back strain, per Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.

Steve Kerr says Stephen Curry is exhausted and Warriors need to find their star some rest, potentially with Tuesday’s second of a back to back against Milwaukee. Curry says he’s fine and his back has been an issue he’s been managing since last Thursday https://t.co/A281AcafYL

Curry scored 20 points on a brutal 6-of-21 shooting from the field (4-of-14 from beyond the 3-point arc) and 4-of-4 shooting from the charity stripe, while dishing out seven assists (against a miserable seven turnovers), grabbing four rebounds and swiping three steals.

According to the 6-foot-2 guard, he's been grappling with the ailment since last Thursday.

"I feel like [it is] more so my back I was dealing with the last couple of days, see how that responds tomorrow, but otherwise feel pretty solid," Curry said on Monday.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr revealed that he intended to consult with Golden State VP of player health and performance Rick Celebrini before they figured out a final status report for the two-time league MVP.

"He's exhausted right now," Kerr said of Curry. "So we've got to absolutely consider giving him a night and getting him rejuvenated for the sake of him and the remainder of our games. But we'll see. I think he's been tired the last few games, and so we've got to find a way to get him his juice back."

Now, Golden State has made a final determination for its best player's status heading into a critical matchup with Milwaukee.

Steph Curry will miss the Warriors game against the Bucks tonight, I’m told. Steve Kerr made it pretty clear last night he felt Curry needed a rest night. Back has been bothering him recently.

Across his last four bouts, he's been averaging 20.8 points on .375/.341/.952 shooting splits, 5.0 assists (against 4.0 turnovers) and 3.8 rebounds a night. It's a far cry from his season averages of 24.3 points on .444/.394/.935 shooting splits, 6.1 assists (against 2.9 turnovers) and 4.4 rebounds per.
