Is Stephen Curry Playing Tonight? Injury Update
The Golden State Warriors' star guard, Steph Curry, has an uncertain status for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Following Tuesday's victory over the Phoenix Suns, Curry revealed he has been battling a cold.
He mentioned low energy after the game and plans to consult with team doctors before deciding whether he will travel and play against the Kings. Despite scoring 28 points and making five three-pointers against Phoenix, Curry experienced noticeable fatigue, especially in the second half.
“I was running out of energy toward the end,” Curry said after the game. “I’ll see how I feel after checking with the medical staff, but we’ll make the smart call.”
There is speculation the Warriors might rest him on the second night of a back-to-back game. Additionally, forward Jimmy Butler left Tuesday’s game early due to a back issue, which could further challenge the team’s depth.
Head Coach Steve Kerr emphasized that lacking both players would test the team’s resources significantly.
The betting market reflects this uncertainty, with oddsmakers making Sacramento a 3.5-point home favorite, indicating doubts about the Warriors’ chances without their full lineup.
Summary
Steph Curry’s possible rest due to illness, combined with Jimmy Butler’s back issue, raises concerns about the Warriors’ strength in their upcoming game against Sacramento.
