SAN FRANCISCO — Golden State Warriors<\/a> star Steph Curry<\/a> will miss Friday night’s game in Denver because of a lingering illness he picked up following the team’s recent road trip to Milwaukee and Indianapolis.<\/p>\n

The Warriors’ matchup with the Nuggets is also their NBA Cup opener.<\/p>\n

Curry started feeling symptoms leading into the team’s home game against the Phoenix Suns<\/a> on Tuesday night. He played through them and scored 28 points in 34 minutes but admitted postgame — coughing and sniffling through a short news conference — that his gas tank was on empty in the second half.<\/p>\n

Golden State immediately ruled Curry out of its Wednesday night game in Sacramento (an eventual loss) and will now miss Curry for a second straight game against a conference opponent.<\/p>\n

Warriors coach Steve Kerr said he texted with Curry and the 17th-year guard told him his symptoms had only been worsening.<\/p>\n

Curry isn’t expected to travel to Denver, instead resting at home prior to a Sunday night game against the Indiana Pacers<\/a> in San Francisco. Jimmy Butler<\/a> and Draymond Green<\/a> are expected to make the trip to Denver.<\/p>\n

Green is listed as probable with a rib contusion. Butler is questionable with a lower back strain. Both missed the loss to the Kings but are “hopeful” to return against the Nuggets, Kerr said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN FRANCISCO — Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry will miss Friday night’s game in Denver because of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":262841,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[557],"tags":[64,63,590,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-267610","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nba","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nba","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267610","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267610"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267610\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/262841"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267610"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267610"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267610"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
