The Warriors will be without, perhaps, their four best players as they close out their six-game road trip.<\/p>\n
Steph Curry<\/a> (ankle soreness) and Jonathan Kuminga (bilateral knee tendinitis) officially were ruled out of Wednesday’s game against the Miami Heat before ESPN’s Shams Charania reported shortly<\/a> after on “NBA Today” that both Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green also are not expected to play. <\/p>\n Curry told reporters after Tuesday’s game against the Magic<\/a> that he tweaked his ankle in San Antonio and re-aggravated it against Orlando.<\/p>\n “Those are the things that you just try to play through and try to figure out how to build momentum,” Curry said (h\/t ESPN’s Anthony Slater). “We all know what the schedule’s been like. We try not to think about it too much, knowing it is what it is. You have to find a way to overcome it.”<\/p>\n Charania also reported that the Warriors are “optimistic” that all three of Curry, Butler and Green will return for Friday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers at Chase Center. <\/p>\n After missing three games due to an illness, Curry joined the Warriors on the road and has been on a heater. In five games, he’s averaging 29.8 points on 48-percent shooting from the field and 39 percent from 3-point range in 30.4 minutes.<\/p>\n In Tuesday’s loss to the Magic, Curry scored 34 points in 34 minutes.<\/p>\n After the game, he told reporters he would see how he felt before determining his status in Miami.<\/p>\n “We’re just looking at how it responds because I did it again in the first half tonight,” Curry said Tuesday. “I don’t think it’s anything crazy, but we’ll see how it responds during the flight and how I feel tomorrow.”<\/p>\n Steph Curry tweaked his right ankle in the second Spurs game and again in the first half tonight. He said he will see how it responds after flight\/sleep, but seems very iffy for the Heat game in Miami tomorrow night. pic.twitter.com\/82dnwgr03q<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Anthony Slater (@anthonyVslater) November 19, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Veteran guard Buddy Hield (illness) also was listed as questionable on the Warriors’ injury report, while center Al Horford (toe\/injury management) will miss the second game of the back-to-back.<\/p>\n For Miami, Tyler Herro (ankle) is out and Bam Adebayo (toe sprain) is questionable against Golden State.<\/p>\n While the Warriors’ “Strength in Numbers” mantra<\/a> let them down in Tuesday’s loss, they might have to rely on it to end the road trip with a win.<\/p>\n Download and follow the Dubs Talk Podcast<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t
