Why Steph Curry Still Isn't Playing Tonight for Warriors vs. Pacers
The Golden State Warriors continue to be without their star player, Stephen Curry, who remains sidelined due to illness. This absence is notable as the Warriors face a significantly depleted Indiana Pacers team Sunday night.
Although the Warriors might not be heavily impacted on the scoreboard against the shorthanded Pacers, Curry's ongoing absence raises growing concerns for the team's future prospects.
Curry's Status and Illness Details
Stephen Curry is not injured but is out due to what the Warriors have described as a general illness. This marks the third consecutive game he has missed because of this condition.
"The illness affected my energy late in the game," Curry said after playing last Tuesday.
Since that game, Curry has missed contests on Wednesday, Friday, and now Sunday.
Context and Impact
- Curry played last Tuesday and acknowledged feeling the effects of the illness during the game.
- He has not returned for three straight games due to the ongoing illness.
- The Warriors face a weaker Pacers squad, so the immediate result may not reflect Curry's absence.
