The Golden State Warriors recently played against the Phoenix Suns in the NBA. Stephen Curry made his return to the Warriors roster after missing his previous matchup. However, the Warriors fell to a poor loss against the Suns, resulting in their fourth straight loss this season. Additionally, the DubNation was left furious with their head coach, Steve Kerr‘s management of Curry.

Curry sat most of the time on the bench instead of playing the important parts of the game. Curry did not feature in most parts of the first half of the game. He also went 0-for-5 in the first half on threes. Pat Spencer was one of 13 players the Warriors used in the first 14 minutes of play. It carried on the Warriors’ practice of using a deep (13-man) rotation throughout the season to increase defensive intensity.

Fans were left furious with this as they felt Curry’s absence in most parts of the game costed them the win. One fan wrote on X, “Steve Kerr is unreal, has a superstar and refuses to play him.” However, Curry came back strong in the third quarter, scoring 15 of his 17 total points (5-of-14 FG). He dropped 23 points in total on the Suns but wasn’t enough to secure victory for his side.

As for the Suns, Devin Booker outperformed his Olympic teammate with nine assists and 27 points. With consistent performance from the stars, the Suns held off the Warriors. The Suns are now (11-8) in the league and sit in 6th place in the Western Conference.

The decision to bench Curry came due to him missing his previous game. Not only that, he played with tape on his right knee and a leg sleeve on his left. Kerr also stressed on ‘handling Curry’s minutes’ before their game against the Suns. It will be interesting to watch how Kerr deploys Curry in the upcoming matches of the season.
