The Golden State Warriors are expected to face the Phoenix Suns on Saturday, October 25, 2026, without their starting guards, Steph Curry and Brandin Podziemski. The team, which started the season with two losses, is playing the second game of a back-to-back following a 111-108 defeat against the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday, October 24, 2026.
Podziemski confirmed he will not participate in the game in Phoenix. The player, who had returned to the court on Friday after missing the season opener due to a back injury, stated that the issue is minor, but he will not be available for the next commitment. During the match against Memphis, he headed to the locker room after a collision with center Zach Edey, but returned to the game.
Steph Curry, in turn, indicated that he will likely not play. The 38-year-old athlete, who scored 47 points in the first two games of the season, stated that he would talk with the coaching staff about his physical condition. In addition to the possible absence of the duo, the Golden State Warriors remain without Jimmy Butler, who is rehabilitating from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, Moses Moody, recovering from a patellar tendon tear, and Kristaps Porziņģis, who is sidelined.
