The Golden State Warriors face a high-stakes regular-season finale against the Los Angeles Clippers, but their chances took a hit with Stephen Curry’s injury status in question. The star guard suffered a thumb injury during Friday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers, leaving his availability uncertain for Sunday’s critical matchup.

Golden State Warriors vs Los Angeles Clippers could decide playoff seeding

Tonight’s game carries a "Game 7" intensity, with both teams fighting to avoid the Play-In Tournament. The Warriors (48-33) and Clippers are battling for the sixth seed in the Western Conference, and a win would secure Golden State’s direct playoff berth.
Key implications for the Warriors:

- A win clinches the sixth seed.
- A loss forces them to rely on other results:
- Utah Jazz must beat the Minnesota Timberwolves (both teams tied at 48-33).
- If Jazz lose, the Houston Rockets must defeat the Denver Nuggets (49-32).
