The Golden State Warriors (27-23) vs Philadelphia 76ers (28-21) tonight at Chase Center, facing a critical test without their cornerstone superstar. Tip-off is set for 10 p.m. ET, with the Warriors entering as narrow 2.5-point favorites despite a depleted roster.
Injury Crisis for Golden State
The Warriors suffered a major blow as Stephen Curry was officially ruled out for tonight’s contest due to patellofemoral pain syndrome (runner’s knee). Curry, who has been playing at an All-NBA level this season, aggravated the injury during a recent loss to the Pistons. His absence is compounded by the loss of Jimmy Butler, who is out for the remainder of the 2025-26 season with a knee injury. Jonathan Kuminga and Seth Curry also remain sidelined.
Philadelphia’s Momentum
In contrast, the 76ers arrive on a four-game winning streak and boast a completely clean injury report. Philadelphia is coming off a 124-114 victory over New Orleans, led by Tyrese Maxey, who is averaging a team-high 29.2 points per game. Joel Embiid (26.2 PPG) remains a dominant force as the team attempts to extend their streak to five games.
