Steph Curry’s latest injury layoff lasted just one game.

Curry is in the starting lineup Saturday against the Phoenix Suns at the Footprint Center behind the superstar guard missed Wednesday’s home loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder with bilateral knee pain.

Curry has missed four of the Warriors’ 18 games so far this season, but in 14 contests he is averaged 22.4 points on 47.5 percent shooting from the field and 44.4 shooting from 3-point range.

Without Curry against the Thunder, the Warriors erased a massive deficit, but didn’t have the offensive firepower to top the hill and pull out the win.

Andrew Wiggins also starts after being listed as questionable due to a right ankle sprain).

Jonathan Kuminga (illness) and Gary Payton II (right adductor tightness) were upgraded from probable to available on the NBA’s 4:30 PM PT injury report.

Suns guard Bradley Beal and center Jusuf Nurkic were ruled out for Saturday’s contest.

As NBC Sports Bay Area’s Monte Poole writes, Draymond Green will draw the primary defensive task against former Warriors star Kevin Durant.

The Warriors enter Saturday’s game on a three-game losing streak, so they could use a vintage Curry flurry to break the skid.
