The Golden State Warriors will face the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday.

The Warriors are currently 6-5 on the season and managed to play the last three games without star Steph Curry.

Curry has dealt with an illness over the last several days. With him out of the lineup, the Warriors went 1-2.

Other players had to step up, including rookie Will Richard and star Jimmy Butler.

On Monday, one day before the game against the Thunder, the Warriors released their injury report.

Curry was not listed on there, clearing the way for him to face off against the defending NBA champions.

Curry has played in eight games so far this season and is averaging 26.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game.

He's in his 17th season in the NBA after the Warriors drafted him seventh overall in 2009.

Curry is a four-time NBA champion, 2022 NBA Finals MVP, two-time league MVP, 11-time All-Star and 11-time All-NBA selection.

With him back in the lineup on Tuesday, it will provide a much-needed boost for the Warriors.

Tip-off between Golden State and Oklahoma City is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET.

This will be the first of a six-game road trip for the Warriors and the first of a back-to-back.
