Stephen Curry Absent Again for Warriors vs. Pacers Due to Illness
The Golden State Warriors will once again be without their star guard Stephen Curry. Despite facing a severely depleted Indiana Pacers team on Sunday night, Curry remains sidelined.
Illness Keeps Curry Off the Court
Curry's absence is not injury-related but caused by a lingering illness. The Warriors officially describe it as a “general illness.” This marks the third consecutive game that Curry has missed due to this condition.
Recent Games Without Curry
- Curry last played on Tuesday and afterward mentioned the illness affected his energy late in that game.
- He then missed three games in a row: Wednesday, Friday, and now Sunday.
“The illness had impacted my energy late in that game,” Curry said after his last appearance.
Outlook and Implications
While the Warriors face a Pacers squad that is also shorthanded, Curry's continued absence raises concerns about his return timeline and the team's performance moving forward.
