Steph Curry Sits Out Against Denver Nuggets
In a setback for the Golden State Warriors, star player Steph Curry will sit out tonight’s contest against the Denver Nuggets due to an ongoing illness that has persisted after the team’s recent travels to Milwaukee and Indianapolis. This game marks the Warriors’ first appearance in the NBA Cup, which adds further significance to Curry’s absence.
Curry’s Recent Performance and Health Concerns
The 35-year-old guard began experiencing symptoms leading up to Tuesday’s home game against the Phoenix Suns, where he managed to contribute 28 points over 34 minutes of play. However, during a post-match press conference, it was evident that he was struggling, as he coughed and sniffled while admitting that he felt drained during the second half.
Following that game, the Warriors decided to rule Curry out for a Wednesday night clash against the Sacramento Kings, which resulted in a loss. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr shared that after texting Curry, it became clear that the player’s condition had deteriorated. As of now, he is not expected to join the team in Denver and will instead rest in preparation for a matchup against the Indiana Pacers at home this Sunday.
Team Updates: Butler and Green
The team is hopeful about the return of Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green, both of whom missed the game against Sacramento. Green is classified as probable with a rib injury, while Butler is listed as questionable due to a lower back strain. Kerr noted that both players are optimistic about their availability for the game against the Nuggets tonight.
