Steph Curry update: Why Warriors star is not playing tonight vs Clippers

The Golden State Warriors will look to extend their three-game winning streak when they host the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. After losing their first three games, the Warriors have bounced back with three consecutive wins.

The Warriors' latest victory came on Friday, when they beat the Los Angeles Lakers 112-95, with Stephen Curry scoring 31 points. However, they will have to manage their lineup carefully with another game against the Phoenix Suns scheduled for Monday.

Curry and Draymond Green will both sit out Sunday's game against the Clippers as the Warriors manage their workloads on the first night of a back-to-back (h/t Anthony Slater of ESPN).

The Warriors are managing both players' workloads, and they expect Curry and Green to return for Monday night's game against the Phoenix Suns.

Horford, meanwhile, will play against the Clippers. The veteran center will likely sit out Monday's meeting with the Suns as Golden State manages his minutes across both games.

The Warriors will rely on their available players to cover for Curry and Green against a Clippers team looking to take advantage of their absences.

The Golden State Warriors will host the Los Angeles Clippers at Chase Center on Sunday, Nov. 1. Tipoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET.
