The Golden State Warriors face uncertainty about Stephen Curry’s availability for their upcoming game against the Houston Rockets on Sunday due to soreness in his left foot.

Curry’s condition wasn’t publicly disclosed after his impressive performance against the Sacramento Kings on Friday, during which he scored 41 points on 14-of-19 shooting, effectively securing the win with a late-game three-pointer.

With the Warriors set to play back-to-back games against the Rockets and the New Orleans Pelicans, the team might consider resting Curry in Houston to manage the physical toll of the 82-game season. Fortunately for the 35-year-old star, he is eligible for an age exception under the league’s new rules, allowing him to sit out one half of back-to-back games without facing any penalties.

If Curry does sit out against the Rockets, there’s a good chance he’ll be back in action for the game against the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday. Additionally, Draymond Green is expected to make his 2023-24 season debut for the Warriors in Houston after recovering from an ankle sprain sustained during training camp.

However, whether Green will start or come off the bench for the game remains uncertain, adding another layer of complexity to Steve Kerr’s lineup decisions, especially if Curry is sidelined.

The Warriors will tip off against the Houston Rockets at 4 p.m. (PT) at the Toyota Center, and fans eagerly await news regarding Curry’s availability for the game.
