The rivalry between the Warriors and Grizzlies begins its next chapter on Christmas Day.
The last time these two teams met was in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals, capping off a back-and-forth battle in which Stephen Curry led the Warriors to a series win. Fast forward seven months, and the Warriors are struggling while the Grizzlies are still one of the best in the West.
Many of Golden State's struggles are related to the absence of Curry, who recently went down with a shoulder injury. Will he be healthy in time to take the floor on Christmas Day?
Here is the latest on Curry's status for the Warriors' matchup with the Grizzlies.
