URGENT UPDATE: Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry will miss his third consecutive game due to an illness, just confirmed by team officials. The announcement came two hours before the Warriors’ crucial home game against the Indiana Pacers on November 5, 2023.
Curry, who initially played through the illness in a recent victory over the Phoenix Suns, reported feeling fatigued during the second half. After struggling in subsequent losses to the Sacramento Kings and Denver Nuggets, he has been sidelined for the last two games. This illness followed the Warriors’ road trip to Indianapolis and Milwaukee, where he first showed symptoms.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr stated in a pregame interview that the medical staff is taking a cautious approach, opting to keep Curry out for the match against the Pacers. “We want to make sure he’s fully ready before he returns,” Kerr added. Curry is scheduled for a workout on the practice court later this evening and again Monday morning. If his condition improves, there is optimism he might return for the Warriors’ game on November 7 against the Oklahoma City Thunder, kicking off a demanding five-city, six-game road trip.
The Warriors, currently holding a record of 5-5, have struggled recently, losing four out of their last five games. Notably, the team has lost eight straight games without Curry, underscoring his critical role in their lineup. Meanwhile, the Pacers come into this match-up fatigued, having lost to the Nuggets just a day earlier and currently sitting at a dismal 1-8 record. They will also be without key players, including Pascal Siakam, further complicating their chances against a Warriors team in desperate need of a win.
The implications of Curry’s absence are significant for the Warriors as they aim to regain their footing in the league. Fans are eagerly awaiting news on his potential return, which could be pivotal for the team as they navigate through this challenging stretch of the season.
Stay tuned for updates on Curry’s condition and the Warriors’ upcoming games as this story develops.
