After many assumed the Golden State Warriors would rest all of their veterans against the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night, the possibility of Steph Curry being available still exists. In their official injury report, the Warriors are listing Curry as questionable for this game against the Nuggets, meaning he has not yet been ruled in or out.

With last night's game going into overtime, forcing Curry to exceed 40 minutes, it would make sense why the Warriors would opt to sit him on the last half of a back-to-back. That being said, Curry recently made it clear that he wants to play every single game, and that he would attempt to do so in this back to back.

"I usually campaign to play every game," Curry said before this back-to-back began. "That's the misconception about load management and how it goes. It's never a player saying, 'Hey, I want to sit.' So for all of the people who are worried about that part of our league and all of that, it's usually not the player who is going to the training staff and saying, 'Hey, I don't have it tonight.' It's usually the other way around."

With the Warriors suffering a bad loss last night, perhaps Curry is even more adamant that the team let him play in this one tonight. For now, he is listed as questionable.
