Warriors’ Steph Curry will miss tonight’s game vs. Grizzlies, but Oubre will play

With Stephen Curry out, Jordan Poole will start at point guard for the Warriors.

The Warriors will be undermanned Friday in Memphis, but not as undermanned as they may have feared.

Although guard Stephen Curry (tailbone contusion) will not play in Golden State’s first of two back-to-back matchups against the Grizzlies, guard Kelly Oubre Jr. (right foot sprain) will “give it a go,” head coach Steve Kerr said.

Curry, 33, lost his balance as he backpedaled after a missed 3-point attempt with 2.9 seconds left in the third quarter of Wednesday night’s win over the Rockets. He fell onto a metal riser near the court and, after grabbing his backside in pain, walked toward the locker room under his own power.

In the same game, Oubre, 25, was kicked from behind while going for a rebound and woke up the next day with soreness.

With Curry sidelined, second-year guard Jordan Poole will start Friday. Poole is averaging 19 points on 54% shooting (45.9% from 3-point range), 1.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists in the last five games since he returned from his stint in the G League.
