Why Steph Curry Isn't Playing Tonight for Warriors vs. Nuggets
The Golden State Warriors will once again be without their star player, Stephen Curry, as they face the Denver Nuggets on Friday night in a nationally televised game on Amazon Prime Video. Curry, widely regarded as one of the greatest shooters in NBA history, will miss his second straight matchup.
This absence is not due to an injury but an illness that has kept him sidelined since Wednesday’s loss to the Sacramento Kings. He had previously played through the sickness in Tuesday’s victory over the Phoenix Suns but has since been unable to return.
The Warriors also dealt with other lineup issues. Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler both missed Wednesday’s game as well. The initial report for Friday listed Green as probable and Butler as questionable for the contest.
Friday’s matchup doubles as an NBA Cup game, part of the league’s new in-season tournament, adding a competitive edge for teams that value early-season positioning and tournament success.
“Steph Curry remains out not with an injury but instead an illness.”
