Warriors, with Stephen Curry playing limited role, see others step up in preseason victory over Kings
Warriors guard Stephen Curry played just 14 minutes Saturday, all in the first half, in a preseason game vs. the Kings. With their star out, the Warriors found lineup combos that clicked.
Stephen Curry, the Golden State Warriors' star guard, played a limited role in the Warriors' 111-106 preseason victory over the Sacramento Kings at Chase Center. Curry appeared for only 14 minutes in the first half, after which head coach Steve Kerr pulled him from the game. Young players stepped up to fill the void left by Curry's absence, with forward Gui Santos leading the charge with 15 points and six rebounds.
The Warriors' coaching staff, guided by advanced sports medicine plans, opted to sit Curry to protect his joints, considering his age and the wear on his body. Despite Curry's limited appearance, the team managed to secure the win, marking a potential sign of non-Curry magic in the Warriors' rotation.
