Why Steph Curry Isn't Playing Tonight for Warriors vs. Nuggets
The Golden State Warriors will once again take the court without their superstar leader, Stephen Curry. Known as the greatest shooter in NBA history, Curry’s presence always brings excitement to fans, but he remains sidelined for the second consecutive game.
When the Warriors face the Denver Nuggets on Amazon Prime Video in a nationally televised matchup, Curry will be absent — not due to injury, but because of illness.
“Steph Curry remains out not with an injury but instead an illness.”
The guard already missed Wednesday’s loss to the Sacramento Kings while dealing with sickness, which he had played through during Tuesday’s victory over the Phoenix Suns.
Golden State also played Wednesday’s game without Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler. For Friday’s matchup, Green appeared on the initial injury report as probable, while Butler was listed as questionable.
Adding to the stakes, Friday’s meeting is part of the NBA’s in-season tournament — an NBA Cup game — giving teams extra motivation to perform well.
