Henderson\/ Getty Images The Golden State Warriors earned a much-needed 118-107 win over the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night, but the celebration didn\u2019t last long. Moments after spearheading the victory with a 28-point performance, Stephen Curry revealed he was battling a severe case of the flu. Curry\u2019s health scare casts doubt over his availability for the Warriors\u2019 upcoming clash against the Sacramento Kings.Curry, who drained five triples and helped Golden State fend off a late Suns comeback, admitted that the illness had taken a toll on his performance. What initially looked like another routine night for the Warriors\u2019 veteran guard quickly turned into concern as he struggled through the second half, visibly drained despite his stellar stat line.<\/p>\n

Stephen Curry\u2019s postgame revelation alarms the Golden State Warriors roster<\/p>\n

Stephen Curry has been the standout star for the Golden State Warriors for years. Although Curry has not sustained any significant game injury, he has been down with severe flu, as per reports surfaced after the Warriors\u2019 victory over the Suns. \u201cSteph Curry has a cold that he said is getting worse postgame,\u201d ESPN\u2019s Anthony Slater reported via X. \u201cHe casted some serious doubt that he will play in Sacramento tomorrow night.\u201d The 37-year-old later admitted that his energy levels were completely depleted, saying, \u201cTonight in the second half, the tank was on [empty].\u201dDespite Curry\u2019s competitive drive to suit up against the Kings, head coach Steve Kerr took no chances with his superstar. \u201cI don\u2019t care what the doctors say,\u201d Kerr said, via ESPN\u2019s Anthony Slater. \u201cWe got to get him some rest. He\u2019s not playing tomorrow.\u201d Kerr\u2019s firm stance reflected both caution and respect for Curry\u2019s longevity, especially given the back-to-back schedule.The night also brought another concern for Golden State, as Jimmy Butler exited after just 14 minutes with lower back soreness. Butler had been listed as questionable before the game, but tried to push through the pain before being pulled in the second quarter. Kerr confirmed afterward that Butler\u2019s status for Wednesday remains uncertain.<\/p>\n

Opportunity knocks for the Golden State Warriors\u2019 young core<\/p>\n

With both Curry and Butler sidelined, the Warriors\u2019 young guns are expected to carry the load against Sacramento. Moses Moody, Jonathan Kuminga, and rookie Brandin Podziemski all delivered impressive minutes against Phoenix\u2014 showing flashes of promise and poise under pressure.Moody, who tallied 24 points and five rebounds off the bench, seems eager to capitalize on his expanding role. \u201cI guess that\u2019s why I got the nickname \u2018Stay Ready Mo,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cNo matter what the situation is, you\u2019ve got to deal with it, and I think that\u2019s where we\u2019re at, so day by day.\u201dKerr echoed that sentiment, praising Moody\u2019s impact on both ends of the floor. \u201cMoses was the player of the game tonight,\u201d the coach said. \u201cHis defense on [Devin] Booker and his shooting \u2014 he was fantastic.\u201dAs Curry rests and the Warriors regroup, Wednesday\u2019s game against the Kings could serve as a proving ground for the next generation.
