Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry stood out as one of the top performers on Tuesday night against the Orlando Magic, posting impressive statistics. However, his ankle injury during the matchup has fueled speculation about his potential absence from tonight’s game against the Miami Heat in South Florida.
Stephen Curry indicated Tuesday night that he would wait a few hours before confirming his status for the Golden State Warriors’ game against the Miami Heat. “I will see how it responds after the flight and some sleep, but it’s looking very iffy,” Curry informed the media following the 121-111 defeat to the Magic.
But it turns out that Curry will ultimately not suit up tonight. The NBA injury report for November 19 shows that Curry has been listed as out for the Warriors’ game in Miami with Injury/Illness – Right Ankle; Soreness.
Curry won’t be the only notable absentee for the Dubs though, with Jonathan Kuminga also out. In addition, uncertainty is surrounding Jimmy Butler’s participation against the Heat, listed as questionable just like with Draymond Green and Buddy Hield.
Curry’s reflections on the Magic’s victory
Despite Curry and Butler each surpassing 30 points, the team struggled to secure a win against the Magic, recording numerous turnovers. The Warriors star shared insights on what he believed were the key factors that led to Orlando’s victory.
“They played really well. It was a fast-paced game, and they had an answer for all of our runs. We had self-inflicted wounds with turnovers that gave them easy buckets,” Curry remarked.
As both teams face uncertainties with potential key absences—Butler, Green, and Hield for the Warriors, and Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo for the Heat—fans from both sides are eagerly awaiting how the situations develop, anticipating a riveting showdown tonight.
