Stephen Curry Injury Update
Golden State Warriors star guard Stephen Curry's availability for the upcoming game against the Sacramento Kings remains uncertain.
Current Health Status
After the Warriors' recent victory over the Phoenix Suns, Curry revealed he has been battling a cold. He experienced low energy following the game and plans to consult with team doctors before deciding whether he will travel and play against the Kings.
Performance and Fatigue
In the win against Phoenix, Curry scored 28 points and made five three-pointers but struggled with fatigue, particularly in the second half. This has sparked speculation that the Warriors may rest him on the second night of a back-to-back schedule.
“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.”
Team Impact and Other Injuries
The Warriors might also miss forward Jimmy Butler, who exited Tuesday’s game early because of a back issue. Head Coach Steve Kerr emphasized that the team’s depth will be tested if both players are unavailable for the Kings’ matchup.
Betting Market Reaction
The betting odds reflect uncertainty about Curry’s participation. Oddsmakers have set Sacramento as a 3.5-point home favorite, indicating doubts about Warriors’ chances without their full roster.
