The Warriors will be shorthanded Wednesday night when they face the Heat in Miami on the second night of a Florida back-to-back set.
Steph Curry, who led Golden State with 34 points in Tuesday’s loss in Orlando, has been ruled out with an ankle injury that has been lingering since earlier in the Warriors’ road trip in San Antonio. Curry passed Vince Carter for No. 22 on the NBA’s all-time scoring list.
Joining Curry in street clothes for the Miami game are Al Horford (toe injury management), Jonathan Kuminga (knee tendinitis) and De’Anthony Melton (ACL rehab). The Warriors have listed Jimmy Butler as questionable with a back strain, while Draymond Green and Buddy Hield are questionable to play due to illness.
Horford played in Tuesday’s game and the Warriors have said he will not play both ends of a back-to-back this season as they aim to keep the 39-year-old healthy for the playoffs.
Kuminga has not played since Nov. 12, when the Warriors beat the Spurs in San Antonio and he missed the second half with knee soreness. Butler left a Nov. 4 game against the Suns against Phoenix with back soreness and missed the next night’s game in Sacramento, but has played in each game since.
That Nov. 5 game in Sacramento is the lone game this season in which the Warriors have sat all three of their veteran stars — Curry, Green and Butler — as they try to balance winning with rest for their players above age 35. Wednesday’s game will complete Golden State’s fifth back-to-back set of the season as the Warriors play their 17th game (12 on the road) in 30 days to open the season.
