The 2025-26 season has been a rough one for the Golden State Warriors. The team has played an inconsistent brand of basketball due to injuries keeping stars, like Stephen Curry and Kristaps Porzingis, as well as role players, out of the lineup. Now, though not Steph, the team is getting an update on another elite shooter: Seth Curry.

“I know he’s been part of a couple of scrimmages, but he won’t play tonight,” head coach Steve Kerr told the media ahead of the Warriors’ game against the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight. “I think there’s hope that he’ll play, you know, either against Utah or Chicago. But we’ll have to see how he responds the next couple of days.”

The Warriors are set to play against the Utah Jazz on Monday, and the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday on the second night of the blackout. Curry has been dealing with a case of sciatic nerve irritation, currently listed as “questionable” for the game against the Jazz.

The veteran sharpshooter‘s season has been heavily disrupted due to injury. After being signed and waived during training camp due to salary-cap problems, Curry was brought back in December to play a bench role for a team lacking depth.

However, Curry has been able to play just two games this season, with his sciatica flare-up having him sidelined for over three months. In his appearances, he’s averaged seven points, two rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game with 50% shooting from beyond the arc.

With Curry being brought in midseason to help answer some of the team’s offensive inconsistencies, the team could definitely use him considering the multitude of injuries they’ve had to deal with it.

Warriors Young Players Stepping Up As Injuries Pile On

The Golden State Warriors‘ turbulent season doesn’t just end with two played games for Seth Curry. His brother, Stephen, has missed 13 consecutive games as of today, raising an important question about when he can return.

He’s currently set for revaluation in a few days from now, and in his absence, the team has gone 5-7. To make things worse, the team has also barely seen center Kristaps Porzingis take the floor for them. The trade deadline acquisition has played just one game for them, and is currently sitting due to a flare-up of illness.

In the absence of keys stars, though, the Warriors have seen breakout performances from several players. Most impressive is the play of Brazilian forward Gui Santos, who has averaged 14.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.6 steals. That play had led to him signing a three-year, $15 million extension with the team.

Another key contributor is Brandin Podziemski, who has stepped up on offense. Over the last six games, he guard has averaged 18.3 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 4.7 assists to help stabilize the offense without their superstar in Stephen Curry.

For now, all the team can do is hope the two sharpshooters are back as soon as possible, especially as the team hopes to secure a play-in tournament spot.
