The Golden State Warriors will face the Indiana Pacers once again without their star player, Stephen Curry. Despite the Pacers being severely shorthanded, Curry remains sidelined due to illness.
Curry is missing his third consecutive game, not because of any injury, but due to what the Warriors describe as a "general illness." He was last on the court last Tuesday and mentioned afterward that the illness affected his energy, especially late in the game.
"The Warriors have now termed it a 'general illness.'"
"He played last Tuesday and spoke after the game about how the illness had impacted his energy late in that game."
Against a depleted Pacers team, the Warriors' immediate results may not be significantly affected. However, Curry's prolonged absence is becoming a cause for concern regarding the team’s future performances.
Meanwhile, the Pelicans face separate dilemmas, notably concerning Zion Williamson, which a trade alone may not resolve.
Author’s summary: Stephen Curry continues to miss games due to a persistent illness, raising growing concerns for the Warriors despite facing a weakened Pacers lineup.
