Stephen Curry played just 20 minutes, scoring 11 points on a modest 4-of-13 shooting. He added one rebound, one steal, and a single three-pointer. According to comments cited by Athlon Sports, the point guard admitted he’s still feeling the effects of a strong cold, though physically he feels fine. “Catching my breath was the hardest part,” Curry said, noting he spent two days in bed before returning to practice.
The battle continues
Coach Steve Kerr had stated beforehand that Stephen Curry would not be on a minutes restriction. However, the lopsided score forced the coaching staff to limit the starters’ time on the floor. None of them played more than 24 minutes, in a game that exposed the team’s lack of rhythm and cohesion.
Despite the loss, the silver lining is that Stephen Curry sounded optimistic about his health and his availability for the next game. The Warriors face the San Antonio Spurs tonight, led by rising star Victor Wembanyama. The Spurs come in hot with an 8-2 record. Asked if he could play on back-to-back nights, Curry replied confidently: “Yes, I’m trying.”

Heavy reliance on Curry
Golden State’s situation is fragile. The team isn’t just losing on the road—it’s showing defensive inconsistencies and an overdependence on Stephen Curry to generate offense. His recent absence highlighted the lack of reliable perimeter options, and even his return couldn’t reverse the current trend.
The matchup against the Spurs will be another test to gauge where the Warriors truly stand. With Stephen Curry back and the team desperate to snap its losing streak, they’ll be looking to rediscover their identity. Tip-off is set for 8:00 pm ET at the Frost Bank Center. And all eyes will be on whether their leader’s return can spark a turnaround.
