SAN FRANCISCO — Golden State Warriors<\/a> star Stephen Curry<\/a> sat out his third straight game because of an illness, a 114-83 win<\/a> over the also shorthanded Indiana Pacers<\/a> on Sunday night, but is expected back for Tuesday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Curry came down with the illness after the Warriors’ recent trip to Indianapolis and Milwaukee. He played through it in a Tuesday night home win over the Phoenix Suns<\/a> but said his tank was on empty in the second half. Curry stayed home during the Warriors’ road losses at Sacramento on Wednesday and Denver on Friday.<\/p>\n

After four days of rest, Curry was initially deemed questionable against the Pacers, but Warriors coach Steve Kerr said before the game that the team’s medical staff opted to take a cautious approach and ruled out Curry. After the game, Kerr said the team expected Curry to be back for Tuesday’s game in Oklahoma City, which will kick off a five-city, six-game trip.<\/p>\n

The Warriors opened the season 4-1 but entered Sunday having lost four out of their past five games. Including the playoffs, Golden State had lost eight straight games without Curry but broke the streak Sunday against a Pacers team missing a chunk of its rotation. Pascal Siakam<\/a>, among others, was out after Indiana lost at Denver on Saturday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN FRANCISCO — Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry sat out his third straight game because of an…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":262841,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[574],"tags":[64,63,726,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-276041","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-basketball","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-basketball","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276041","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=276041"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276041\/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=276041"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=276041"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=276041"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
