Warriors vs Raptors LIVE stream: Watch Kevin Durant vs Kawhi Leonard in NBA clash on TV

Steph Curry, however, hasn’t made the trip for the Warriors who are second in the Western Conference.

The Warriors ace has missed the last 10 games with a groin injury and he could be in contention to start against the Detroit Pistons on Saturday.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr confirmed the news on Wednesday about Curry’s absence.

“Steph is not going to play tomorrow [Thursday night], he wants to play, he’s ready to play and we are just going to be extra cautious,” he said.

“Rick [Celebrini, director of sports medicine and performance] felt very strongly based on his years of experience doing this stuff that it makes sense to be extra careful, but he will play in Detroit.”

“He’s dying to play, he loves playing in Toronto, he’s got great memories of being there when Dell [Wardell Stephen Curry, Steph’s Dad] was playing at the Raptors.”

Warriors boast a 15-7 record this term, but NBA expert Sekou Smith thinks the Raptors fans will be hard done by with Curry not playing.

He said: “I think the real losers are the fans [Raptors].

“They got their eyes on the trip to the finals and this could be that one opportunity they would have to see their team against the Warriors in Toronto before that proposed finals match up would happen.

“But if you are Steph Curry, you don’t take any chances at all.

“You don’t rush Steph Curry back from this injury.”
