Traveling to the Bucks, still without Draymond Green, the Warriors also had to do without the presence of Stephen Curry. The leader was sidelined by his team, while Steve Kerr explained himself at a press conference.

New defeat for the Warriors, who had to lose this Saturday evening against the Bucks, with a score of 118-129. Not a surprise when we’ve known the shape of this team for a few weeks, to the point where the front office has put everyone on the market, with the exception of Steph Curry according to several insiders. The leader was precisely absent from this meeting.

Steph Curry exhausted at Warriors

Without Baby Face, it’s difficult to hope for a victory for Steve Kerr’s men, especially against a big name from the Eastern Conference. In front of the journalists, the coach also had a fairly simple explanation for Curry’s absence: he is cooked. Having been asked to win since the start of the season, we have to believe that the double MVP is paying the price physically.

 

Steve Kerr on Steph Curry : “He’s just exhausted today. He’s been healthy all season, but we’ve relied on him a lot. He needs a day off. »

The coach, however, reassured the supporters: Curry should be back on Monday to face the Grizzlies. A very light rest for Steph, who needed it after a very difficult first part of the season for him and the Warriors. It must be said that the person concerned is the only one at the level to date.

Unfortunately for him, Curry isn’t young anymore either. At almost 36 years old, and given his pace since the start of the season, the Warriors will have to be careful with their star in order to avoid injury.

Curry has played 36 games out of a possible 38 while playing 25 games in a row so far.

This is not sustainable for a 35 year old guy who will turn 36 in two months in March.

Even Steph Curry needs a breather, especially when we see everything he brings to the floor. A logical decision for the Warriors, who will have to find solutions in the future to protect their star. It starts with a workforce capable of helping him.
