For a quick explainer as to what exactly "left knee bursitis" is, here's resident Golden State Warriors Twitter medical expert Dr. Nirav Pandya:
Bursa are fluid filled sacs that help to reduce friction around joints. In the knee, the bursa around the knee cap can get inflammation (i.e. bursitis). This usually occurs from contact / fall. Treatment is typically rest, ice, and anti-inflammatories. https://t.co/7dLMpPbM0p

Besides Curry, Lindy Waters III is also expected to be available despite being questionable due to a knee hyperextension:

However, Kevon Looney — who was also questionable due to an illness — has been officially ruled out of the game against the Los Angeles Clippers, who employ Ivica Zubac as their center. Zubac gave the Warriors plenty of trouble during their last matchup, and not having Looney to act as a physical ballast against the Croatian big could be a problem for them.
