The Golden State Warriors kicked off 2025 the right way. They started the year off with a dub against the Philadelphia 76ers at home. Stephen Curry went off against the Sixers, converting all eight of his three-point attempts and scoring 30 points. What makes it even more impressive is that he did all that with a sprained right thumb.

Heading into the weekend, the Dubs are slated to play back-to-back home games. The first contest is against the Memphis Grizzlies tonight. Unfortunate news came from the Warriors camp as Steve Kerr announced Stephen Curry will be OUT for the contest. They will keep him out of the contest to manage the tendonitis in his knee.
BREAKING!
Coach Steve Kerr “Steph’s gonna be out tomorrow. With the back to back and the tendonitis in his knees, our training staff made the decision a couple weeks ago”

The Warriors will also be missing Gary Payton II and Brandin Podziemski for the contest, whereas Andrew Wiggins is listed as probable.
Seeing how this is a planned rest for Stephen Curry in anticipation of the back-to-back, we should see him suit up when the Kings come to town on Sunday. This additional day off should prove useful for the 2x MVP in his sprained thumb recovery as well.
