Nightmare Scenario Hits Warriors as Steph Curry's Worsening Health Raises Serious Alarms

The Golden State Warriors already ruled out Steph Curry for their game against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday because of the flu. Curry played through the sickness a day before in their win over the Phoenix Suns. However, the latest report about his health could be a nightmare scenario for the Warriors.

According to ESPN's Anthony Slater, Curry's symptoms worsened overnight, and he was unable to join the Warriors for their road game in Sacramento. He is getting a lot of rest since Golden State isn't set to play again until Friday in Denver for their first NBA Cup group stage game.

It's unclear if Curry will get cleared to play against the Nuggets, but there's hope that the extra day of rest is enough for the 37-year-old sharpshooter. However, it should be pointed out that Denver's altitude could be bad for someone who has just gone through the flu.

"Steph Curry told Steve Kerr his symptoms worsened overnight. He rested today, didn’t make trip to Sacramento. Warriors are “hopeful within the next couple days he will be alright.” They play at Denver on Friday," Slater tweeted.

Steph Curry played through the sickness on Tuesday and looked alright for the first three quarters. He was gassed in the final period, but his teammates picked up the slack. Curry finished with 28 points, four rebounds and three assists, while Moses Moody had his best game of the season so far.

With Jimmy Butler ruled out for the rest of the second half due to a back injury, Moody contributed 24 points, five rebounds and two assists. He also did a tremendous job on Devin Booker late in the game.

Kerr had nothing but praise for the guard, who was supposed to be part of the starting lineup this season but got slowed down by a calf strain in the preseason.

Despite still feeling sick from the flu and exhausted from the game, Steph Curry faced reporters after their win over the Phoenix Suns. Curry doesn't feel well, but he's hoping that getting a rest day or two will get him back to full strength.

"Obviously, it would take a lot for me not to play," Curry said. "But the way it’s going, how the schedule’s been and just how I feel. Obviously, tomorrow, we’ll see how it goes, but I want to be a hundred percent for the long term."

The Warriors entered Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings with a record of 5-3.
