The Golden State Warriors are in a weird spot. They finished a rough six-game road trip 1-5 before heading home for an eight-game homestand. Playing without Stephen Curry in this stretch, the Dubs won five straight games at home before losing their last two contests.

Playing without Klay Thompson, the Warriors lost their last game against the Orlando Magic. Magic came into town, handed the 2022 Champions a 115-101 trashing, and won the season series.
The positives for the Warriors that game was Andre Iguodala and Andrew Wiggins coming to the lineup. Iguodala played his first game of the season. Wiggins, on the other hand, returned from almost a month of absence due to injury.
As the Dubs prepare to host the Phoenix Suns, fans just have one question. Is Stephen Curry playing tonight?
Stephen Curry is listed as Probable for the matchup against the Suns
Stephen Curry has been listed as anything but OUT for the first time since his injury. Ahead of the matchup against the Suns, the Warriors listed the 8x All-Star as probable.
Warriors upgrading Steph Curry to probable vs Suns tomorrow after completing two practices. That would end his absence at 11 games. The Warriors went 6-5 since he was injured, treading enough water to deliver a 20-20 record. https://t.co/VA8AZYE8hp

This is great news for the Warriors, who have climbed to the sixth spot in the West with a 20-20 record. At the same time, it looks like Klay Thompson will play tomorrow as well. Klay was a late scratch against the Magic with knee soreness.
Klay Thompson is good to go. He, Steph Curry, Andrew Wiggins and Andre Iguodala all practiced today
No Jonathan Kuminga, James Wiseman or JaMychal Green

The Warriors would look to hold off the struggling Suns, who come in tonight without Devin Booker and Chris Paul. If the Dubs manage to hold them off, it will provide a nice boost before the upcoming five-game road trip.
