Stephen Curry's Game Status Uncertain
Golden State Warriors star guard Steph Curry's participation in Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings remains unclear. After Tuesday’s victory over the Phoenix Suns, Curry revealed he has been battling a cold.
Energy and Medical Check
Curry admitted his energy was low following the game and plans to consult the team’s medical staff before deciding whether to travel and play against the Kings.
“I was running out of energy toward the end,” Curry said after the game. “I’ll see how I feel after checking with the medical staff, but we’ll make the smart call.”
Performance Against Phoenix Suns
During the win over Phoenix, Curry scored 28 points and made five three-pointers, but struggled with fatigue especially in the second half. This has sparked speculation that the Warriors might rest him on the second night of a back-to-back.

Betting Market Reaction
Betting odds shifted quickly amid uncertainty about Curry's availability, with oddsmakers making Sacramento a 3.5-point home favorite, reflecting doubts about the Warriors’ chances without their full lineup.
Summary
Stephen Curry's participation against the Kings is in doubt due to illness and fatigue, impacting both team performance and betting odds ahead of the game.
