Curry (finger) won't play in Sunday's preseason game against the Pistons, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.
Curry exited Friday's preseason game early with a jammed finger and will now miss Sunday's contest. It is unclear whether or not his absence is simply for rest or due to the injury, which doesn't appear to be a long-term issue.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Jams finger in preseason game
Rotowire
Curry jammed his finger late in the first half of Friday's 109-106 exhibition victory over the Kings and did not return, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Curry went through his usual postgame workout routine in the weight room, and it does not sound like it should be too much of an issue going forward. Still, it is worth monitoring, as the Warriors will presumably err on the side of caution with their star guard during the preseason. The sharpshooter finished with just six points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3PT, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block across 16 minutes.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Scores 13 points in limited work
Rotowire
Curry totaled 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), an assist and a steal across 16 minutes in Wednesday's 122-112 win over the Kings.
The Warriors have several new pieces to experiment with, so it made sense for Curry to leave the court early. Although Klay Thompson is gone, Curry has inherited much-needed support around him. Buddy Hield, De'Anthony Melton and returnee Brandin Podziemski will aid Curry and fill out the backcourt this season.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Scores nine points vs. Clippers
Rotowire
Curry finished Saturday's 91-90 preseason win over the Clippers with nine points (2-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two assists, one rebound and one steal across 14 minutes.
None of the Warriors' starters, including Curry, played more than 20 minutes in the preseason opener Saturday, but the two-time MVP managed to lead the starting five in scoring. Who will replace Klay Thompson in the backcourt next to Curry hasn't been solidified, but De'Anthony Melton got the nod over Brandin Podziemski on Saturday. The 36-year-old Curry will continue to serve as the focal point of the Warriors' offense as he enters his 15th season in the NBA.
