Why is Steph Curry not playing?

Will Curry play on Game 5?

The Warriors officially ruled out Stephen Curry for Game 5, citing “load management” as part of a broader rest strategy against the Lakers (NBA.com (official league site)). Curry did not dress for the April 17 loss at Phoenix – that game’s top scorer was Draymond Green with 36 points (CBS Sports (sports news outlet)).

Why Warriors are resting Steph Curry vs. Lakers, not Kings?

The decision to rest Curry against the Lakers – a playoff‑caliber opponent – rather than the Kings suggests the coaching staff values managing his minutes ahead of the Play-In. No official reason beyond “rest” has been given (ESPN (sports broadcaster)).

What this means: the coaching staff is betting Curry’s health is worth the risk of a lower seed.
