Stephen Curry Fantasy Stats

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (quadriceps) is expected to miss roughly a week after suffering a contusion Wednesday, creating extra backcourt opportunities in the rotation. Veteran guard Jimmy Butler III has averaged 22.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 6.2 assists across his last five games, including a 21-point, five-rebound, five-assist performance Wednesday, and he should hold firm rest-of-season value. Third-year guard Brandin Podziemski also stands to see a usage bump, bringing 13.0 points on 40.0 percent shooting over his last five contests. Podziemski lines up as the short-term streamer while Curry recovers.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (quadriceps) will undergo an MRI after suffering a quad contusion in Wednesday's NBA Cup loss to the Houston Rockets. The multi-time All-Star had a rough time getting his shots to fall on Wednesday night, and he would go on to finish with 14 points while shooting 2-for-9 from behind the three-point line. The Warriors don't play again until Saturday versus the New Orleans Pelicans, so there's a chance he might suit up. Of course, the team will play it safe, considering Curry has sustained numerous injuries throughout his lengthy career. Fortunately for the Dubs, Jonathan Kuminga (knee) could be back on Saturday, which would certainly help lessen the blow caused by Curry's potential absence. Jimmy Butler III should also take on more of the scoring load, with Brandin Podziemski, who had 14 points against Houston from off the bench, potentially working his way into the starting lineup.

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry has been diagnosed with a quadriceps contusion and is set to undergo an MRI. Curry was hurt while attempting to draw a charge on Amen Thompson in Wednesday's 104-100 loss to the Houston Rockets, causing him to miss the end of the game. While Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was relieved after the game that Curry didn't suffer an ankle or a knee injury, he might still have to miss time. The Warriors get back to work on Saturday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. Curry's exit from the lineup would boost Jimmy Butler III's usage rate, while players like Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody may also benefit.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (ankle) will not suit up against the Miami Heat on Wednesday. Curry will sit out due to right ankle soreness after jamming it during Wednesday's 121-113 loss to the Magic. The 37-year-old could be back on Friday as the Warriors haven't labeled the injury a sprain. Along with Curry, Golden State could have several key players out this evening, as Draymond Green (illness), Jimmy Butler (back), and Buddy Hield (illness) are all potentially unavailable.

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's tussle with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Golden State's leader has missed three games due to illness. The Warriors have limited Curry's workload early in the season to only 31.1 minutes per game, but he's still filled the box score regularly. Across eight appearances, Curry has averaged 26.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.5 steals. On Tuesday, Curry faces a very difficult matchup against a team that has allowed the second-fewest points to point guards this season. Will Richard and Buddy Hield are likely to lose playing time with Curry's return, while the offensive usage of Jimmy Butler III and Jonathan Kuminga will decline.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (illness) is expected to return Tuesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, according to head coach Steve Kerr. Curry has missed the past three games due to a general illness, and the Warriors dropped two of those contests, underscoring just how vital he remains to their offense. Before his absence, the two-time MVP was averaging 26.8 points, 4.3 assists, and 3.6 rebounds while shooting 39 percent from deep and 95 percent from the line. His return should immediately lift the team's scoring and spacing, benefiting teammates like Jonathan Kuminga and Jimmy Butler III, who have carried the offensive load recently. Fantasy managers should confidently reinsert Curry into all lineups, as he remains a top-tier 9-cat option capable of elite efficiency and volume across multiple categories.

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's meeting with the Indiana Pacers. The former MVP was initially considered questionable for the game due to illness. Curry will be sidelined for a third consecutive game, boosting the fantasy value of Brandin Podziemski and Will Richard. The latter has done better over the last two games, even dropping 30 points in Wednesday's loss to the Sacramento Kings. Curry's absence also means more offensive touches for Jimmy Butler III and Jonathan Kuminga.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Indiana. He missed the last two games. If he's cleared against Indiana, fantasy managers should be starting him without hesitation and trimming expectations for Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody, and Will Richard, who all saw bigger roles in his absence. If Curry sits again, Podziemski should handle more on-ball reps and rebounding from the guard spot; Moody profiles as the best plug-and-play option for threes and defensive counters after dropping 28 points with six triples in Sacramento, and Jonathan Kuminga will soak up shots despite some volatility. Draymond Green remains a facilitator either way, while Buddy Hield is a deep-league dart for perimeter scoring.

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Denver Nuggets. He will miss a second consecutive game due to illness. Golden State's veteran star has been sharp early this season, averaging 26.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.5 steals in 31.1 minutes per game. His exit from the lineup on Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings gave Will Richard a chance to make his first career start, and the 22-year-old rookie had an outstanding game with 30 points in 35 minutes. Additionally, he recorded seven rebounds, five assists, and one steal.

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (illness) will skip Wednesday's contest against the Sacramento Kings. While the Warriors haven't yet officially submitted their injury report for the game, head coach Steve Kerr said after Tuesday's win over the Phoenix Suns that Curry won't take the floor against Sacramento. "I don't care what the doctors say," Kerr said. "We got to get him some rest. He's not playing tomorrow." Curry, who had 28 points in 34 minutes on Tuesday, is battling a worsening cold. Jimmy Butler (back) isn't expected to play on Wednesday either, meaning Golden State will be without two of its top scorers. Jonathan Kuminga and Brandin Podziemski are set to lead the offense, giving them more fantasy value.
