Stephen Curry Sits Out Sunday With 'Injury Management' After Dropping 31 on Lakers
Underdog NBA reported: 'Stephen Curry (injury management) listed out for Sunday.'
is officially sitting out Sunday's game for "injury management," according to a report from Underdog NBA.
If you are wondering what exactly is being managed, it is the fact that he just played a basketball game on Saturday. The modern NBA back-to-back has turned star players into bank tellers who simply do not work on Sundays.
Curry looked plenty healthy 24 hours ago when he dropped 31 points to lead a 112-95 comeback win over the .
He is currently averaging 29.2 points, 4.0 assists, and 3.8 rebounds on the season for a team sitting at a perfectly average 3-3.
The official reason for the rest traces back to a knee tweak he suffered during an open practice in mid-October. Golden State is clearly playing the long game, treating his right knee like a load-bearing wall in a historic home.
For fantasy managers and anyone looking at Sunday's player props, this is the ultimate headache. You cannot bet on a guy who is wearing street clothes, and the ' offensive lines are going to look completely unrecognizable without him spacing the floor.
Golden State will have to figure out how to generate points without their franchise anchor for a night. Expect Curry to be fully rested and back in the starting lineup when the face the Phoenix Suns early next week.
