Stephen Curry's Playing Status Uncertain
Golden State Warriors star guard Steph Curry's availability for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings remains unclear. Following Tuesday's victory over the Phoenix Suns, Curry revealed he has been battling a cold.
Injury and Fatigue Details
Curry admitted his energy was low after the game and plans to consult with team doctors before deciding whether he will travel and play against Sacramento.
“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.”
In the Phoenix win, Curry scored 28 points and hit five three-pointers but visibly struggled with fatigue in the second half. This situation has sparked speculation that he might be rested during the second night of a back-to-back.
Other Team Injuries and Impact
The Warriors could also be without forward Jimmy Butler, who left Tuesday's game early due to a back issue. Head Coach Steve Kerr emphasized that the team's depth would be tested if both key players miss the upcoming game.
Betting Market Reaction
Oddsmakers have responded quickly to the uncertainty surrounding Curry's status, making Sacramento a 3.5-point home favorite and casting doubt on the Warriors' chances without their full lineup.
Summary
Stephen Curry’s participation against the Kings is uncertain due to a cold and fatigue, while the Warriors face additional challenges with Jimmy Butler’s injury, impacting their depth and betting odds.
