In a surprising move, the Golden State Warriors have decided to rest their superstar Stephen Curry for Tuesday night's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. Warriors coach Steve Kerr cited Curry's exhaustion as the reason behind the decision, following a subpar performance against the Denver Nuggets where he struggled with turnovers and shooting. Despite Curry downplaying any concerns about his health, a lingering low back strain appears to have been bothering him since pregame warmups before a recent game against the Sacramento Kings.
Curry's absence will undoubtedly be felt by the Warriors, as he has been a scoring machine in recent games, consistently putting up 20 or more points in the majority of his outings. Kerr emphasized the importance of giving Curry a break to allow him to recharge and regain his energy for the remaining stretch of games. With Curry on the sidelines, the Warriors may look to the possible return of guard Brandin Podziemski, who has been sidelined with a lower back strain for the past five games. The focus now shifts to how the Warriors will adjust their game plan without their primary playmaker leading the charge against a tough Bucks squad.
