Stephen Curry expected to miss Suns game as Warriors navigate first back-to-back of the season

Stephen Curry is expected to miss the Warriors’ game against the Phoenix Suns as Golden State navigates its first back-to-back of the season.

ESPN’s Anthony Slate reported that the Warriors guard indicated he would “probably” sit out the contest in Phoenix. The wording suggests Curry’s absence is expected rather than formally confirmed in the available report.

Back-to-back creates immediate availability question

The potential absence comes as the Warriors manage the first consecutive-game set on their schedule this season. Curry’s status is therefore the central roster development surrounding the matchup with Phoenix.

For the Warriors, the decision affects their lineup for a road game against the Suns. For Curry, it would mean sitting out the second game referenced in the team’s first back-to-back of the season.

What to watch next

The available information does not provide a final official status or further details about the decision. Curry’s indication that he would “probably” sit leaves his participation listed as expected rather than certain.

The Warriors’ Suns matchup in Phoenix remains the immediate focus as the team handles Curry’s reported availability during the back-to-back.
