Stephen Curry Out for 3rd Straight Game Due to Illness

UPDATE: Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry has been ruled out for a third consecutive game due to illness, just announced two hours before tip-off against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday night. This latest setback comes after Curry struggled through symptoms during the Warriors’ recent home game, where he admitted his energy was depleted in the second half.

Curry initially played in the Warriors’ victory over the Phoenix Suns, but his condition worsened following a challenging road trip to Indianapolis and Milwaukee. After missing the team’s two road losses in Sacramento and Denver, Curry was originally deemed questionable for tonight’s matchup. However, Coach Steve Kerr confirmed that the medical staff is taking a cautious approach, leading to Curry’s exclusion from the lineup.

While Curry remains sidelined, he is expected to engage in a workout on the practice court later this evening and again on Monday morning. If his recovery progresses well, there is hope for a return on Tuesday night when the Warriors face the Oklahoma City Thunder to kick off a demanding six-game road trip across five cities.

The Warriors, who began the season with a strong 4-1 record, have faced challenges lately, losing four of their last five games to fall to 5-5. Notably, the team has struggled without Curry, with a painful eight-game losing streak in all competitions when he is absent. In contrast, the Pacers are also reeling, having lost to the Denver Nuggets just yesterday, and are without several key players, including Pascal Siakam.

This situation has immediate implications for both teams as they navigate their respective struggles in an increasingly competitive season. Fans and analysts alike will be closely monitoring Curry’s recovery and his potential return to the lineup, as the Warriors aim to regain their footing in the league.
