Why Steph Curry Isn't Playing Tonight for Warriors vs. Kings
The Golden State Warriors are without their star player for Wednesday night's game against the Sacramento Kings. Both teams are shorthanded, with the Warriors facing a back-to-back schedule that prevents them from fielding a full-strength roster.
Key Absences
- Stephen Curry will not play due to illness, not injury.
- Domantas Sabonis and Zach LaVine are also out for the Kings.
This game, which promised significant star power, will miss some of its biggest names.
