Why Steph Curry Still Isn't Playing Tonight for the Warriors
The Golden State Warriors will once again take the court without their star guard, Stephen Curry. The situation has begun to raise concerns among fans and analysts, as this will be his third straight missed game.
The Warriors are facing an undermanned Indiana Pacers team on Sunday night, so the immediate result may not be severely affected. However, Curry’s ongoing absence is becoming increasingly noteworthy for the team’s outlook moving forward.
“The sharpshooter keeps on missing. This is getting just a little odd.”
Reason for Curry's Absence
The team has clarified that Curry’s absence is not related to an injury but rather to a general illness. He first played last Tuesday, noting afterward that the illness had drained his energy late in that game. Since then, he has missed games on Wednesday, Friday, and now Sunday.
The Warriors have now termed it a "general illness."
Context Around the Team
Despite the Pacers being shorthanded, the Warriors’ continued lack of their leader highlights concerns about maintaining rhythm and performance without him. While not an alarming long-term issue yet, the pattern is starting to draw attention.
