San Francisco, CA – May 2, 2025 — In a shocking announcement ahead of Saturday’s crucial Game 6 against the Houston Rockets, the Golden State Warriors have confirmed that Stephen Curry will not be available due to personal reasons.
The team released a brief statement Friday morning, stating only that Curry is dealing with a private matter and will not travel with or suit up for the game. No further details were provided, and it is unclear whether he will be available for a potential Game 7.
“Steph means everything to this team,” said head coach Steve Kerr. “But we respect his situation and will support him 100%. Now it’s up to the rest of the group to step up and compete.”
Curry’s absence leaves the Warriors in a vulnerable position as they attempt to close out the first-round series at home. With the Rockets gaining momentum after a Game 5 win, the pressure now shifts to Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green, and the rest of the roster to carry the load.
The team has asked for privacy and declined to comment further.
Game 6 tips off Saturday at 6:00 PM PDT at Chase Center.
