OAKLAND, Calif. — Stephen Curry is eating well again, went through his shooting routine and worked out Tuesday, two days after the two-time reigning NBA MVP missed a game at Portland with the stomach flu. He is expected to play against Charlotte tonight at Oracle Arena as long as he continues to regain strength.

Coach Steve Kerr gave Golden State the day off Monday after back-to-back games — at home Saturday night against the Clippers then Sunday night at Portland, where Curry was forced to watch from the team hotel while sick. The Warriors had what Kerr called a "maintenance day" Tuesday rather than a full practice. Players could get treatment for any injuries, shoot around and lift weights.
"Steph’s feeling better. He’s getting his shots up and getting Savoybetting a workout in," Kerr said. Monday "was good for him. He kept his food down. He’s feeling better. I would say highly likely that he plays."
Starting center Zaza Pachulia was having an MRI exam on his injured right shoulder, with results not expected to be announced until this morning’s shootaround. Pachulia landed hard on his outstretched right arm and shoulder while making a key steal in the fourth quarter of the Warriors’ 113-111 win at Portland.
