DENVER — An under the weather Steph Curry will remain home in the Bay for the second consecutive road game as he battles an illness.
The Warriors will finish a two-game road trip with a matchup at Denver on Friday, and will have to do so without their franchise player.
Curry was noticeably coughing and sniffling during the last home game against Phoenix, and he told reporters that he had been fighting sickness for the previous midwestern road trip to Milwaukee and Indiana.
He did not travel with the team to Sacramento, and Curry was ruled out with with an illness on the NBA”s official injury report that was published at 2:30 p.m. PT.
Curry is averaging 26.8 points per game in eight starts, but his numbers took a noticeable dip in each of the last two games he played. Curry shot under 40% in each of those games, after not dipping under that threshold in any of the previous six games.
Missing Curry, Jimmy Butler (back) and Draymond Green (ribcage), the Warriors lost a nail biter to a Sacramento team also lacking starts Zach LaVine and Domantas Sabonis.
The Warriors dropped to 5-4 on the season, but there were a few silver linings to be taken without Curry or the other stars in the lineup. Jonathan Kuminga scored 24 points, while rookie Will Richard poured in 30 points in his first career start, and Moses Moody dropped in 28 points.
The Warriors will return to the Bay Area for one game against Indiana on Sunday, and then will embark on a six-game road trip that will see the team begin their journey in Oklahoma City, and end it in Miami.
