Tonight, as the Golden State Warriors fell to the Orlando Magic, the Warriors looked like they were running on fumes. A 121-113 loss came during one of the grindiest parts of this road trip, and even Stephen Curry, the one constant delivering when needed, couldn’t hide the discomfort. When he addressed reporters postgame, it was clear something wasn’t right.
Earlier this season, Curry had been forced to sit out three games due to an illness and stayed home during that period, working on resolving the viral infection. Today, he said, “Still dealing with it (illness) a little bit. I feel like myself. I still got some little symptoms, and then a little sore ankle that was a couple of games ago, and a little bit tonight. But those are the things that you’re just trying to play through and trying to figure out how to continue to build momentum.”
Steph Curry tweaked his right ankle in the second Spurs game and again in the first half tonight. He said he will see how it responds after flight/sleep, but seems very iffy for the Heat game in Miami tomorrow night. pic.twitter.com/82dnwgr03q

He also spoke about the issues resulting from scheduling, something that head coach Steve Kerr has also pointed to at various points early this season. “ We all know what the schedule’s been like, and Coach talked about it yesterday, and we try not to think about it too much, knowing it is what it is. You have to find a way to overcome it. We’ve done a decent job. We’ve let three games slide that we feel like we wish we would have, but we’re all right, right now.” During this early stretch, the Warriors have been scheduled to play 15 games in 26 days, with a significant portion on the road.
