Why Steph Curry Isn't Playing Tonight for Warriors vs. Nuggets
Stephen Curry, the greatest shooter in NBA history, remains sidelined. When the Golden State Warriors face the Denver Nuggets on Amazon Prime Video in a national game, Curry will not be on the court.
This marks the second straight game that Golden State must play without their superstar leader, not due to injury but illness. Curry missed the recent loss to the Kings on Wednesday after playing while sick in Tuesday's win over the Suns.
