Curry’s Status for Warriors-Heat in Doubt After Right Ankle Tweak

A pregame decision by Steve Kerr will determine his status on the second night of a back-to-back.

Overview

  • Stephen Curry said he re-tweaked his right ankle in the loss to the Magic and is monitoring how it responds to travel.
  • Curry reported lingering post-illness symptoms but still logged 34 points and nine assists in 34 minutes on Tuesday.
  • Golden State fell 121-113 to Orlando, dropping to 9-7 heading into tonight’s game in Miami.
  • Reporters indicated Curry’s availability likely will not be known until Kerr’s pregame media session, with precautionary rest considered possible.
  • If Curry sits, analysts expect greater backcourt minutes for Brandin Podziemski and Gary Payton II, and Jimmy Butler offered no commitment on playing.
