The Golden State Warriors are witnessing the Stephen Curry magic all over again. At 38, sidelined for two months, very few thought that he would be able to make an immediate impact. Upon his return to the side, Steve Kerr and his team were struggling. Not only has the team secured a play-in spot, but it is now one win away from entering the postseason. But ahead of that, the Warriors need to make sure that both Curry and Draymond Green will play against the Phoenix Suns.
At the moment, everything seems pretty rosy with the Warriors. With no reports of an injury, both Green and Curry will be expected to take on the Suns’ challenge. Of course, reports that Green felt sick and puked ahead of the Los Angeles Clippers game raised fans’ heart rates. Thankfully, all seems to be fine as of now.

Playing against the Clippers, the 36-year-old dropped a defensive masterclass. Bottling up the Clippers offense completely, Kawhi Leonard hailed the 4-time NBA All-Star as a Hall of Fame prospect.
And if that was not enough, Curry was there to take care of the team’s offense. Before the matchup, Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue warned his team about Curry’s impending threat. Yet the 2022 NBA Finals MVP took away the game with a 35-point rout.
Interestingly, ahead of the game, Dillon Brooks had a surprising admission.
The Phoenix Suns will have a do-or-die situation against the Warriors. Much to everyone’s amazement, Brooks pointed out that he was rooting for the likes of Curry and Green to get the W against the Clippers. With the Suns developing a feud with the Warriors, Brooks wanted to take revenge in the knockouts.
Speaking to ‘AZ Sports,’ the 30-year-old said, “Steph and Draymond. That’s it. And Steve Kerr.”
Dillon Brooks said he wanted the Warriors to beat the Clippers in the play-in game to set up the Suns' Friday opponent.

When asked why, he said: "Steph and Draymond. That's it. And Steve Kerr."

Now, this year, the Warriors lead the Suns in the regular season 3-1. And that’s why Brooks’ motivation is at an all-time high. Issuing a bold statement, all eyes will be on the Suns whether they can take down the Warriors with a stellar showing.
