However, they tripped up on a banana peel and faltered in a classic trap game, with the Nuggets resting Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Christian Braun. The Warriors faced an uphill climb all game and failed to overcome the Nuggets, losing in the end, 114-105.<\/p>\n<p>Stephen Curry was already listed as questionable heading into the Nuggets clash with a back sprain, and with the Warriors being on a back-to-back set, with the Milwaukee Bucks coming to town on Tuesday night, it&#8217;s not quite clear if Curry will be suiting up for that upcoming game. However, head coach Steve Kerr suggested in his postgame presser that a rest day could be in order for Curry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s tired. Steph\u2019s been carrying us for a month. He\u2019s been amazing. We gotta get him some rest,\u201d Kerr said, via 95.7 The Game on X (formerly Twitter). \u201cYou can see it. He doesn&#8217;t have his [usual] energy right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cHe\u2019s tired.

Getting him rejuvenated for the sake of him and the remainder of our games. We&#8217;ll see. But I think he&#8217;s been tired the last few games and so we&#8217;ve got to find a way to get him his juice back,\u201d Kerr added.<\/p>\n<p>Curry, in the loss to the Nuggets, did not have his best game. The Warriors star suffered through a rough 6-21 shooting night en route to a 20-point outing, and he also coughed up the ball seven times. It certainly looks like rest will do him a world of good.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How will the Warriors fare should Stephen Curry miss Bucks game due to rest?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3296647\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3296647\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Stephen-Curry-smiling-2.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Stephen-Curry-smiling-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Stephen-Curry-smiling-2.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Stephen-Curry-smiling-2.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Stephen-Curry-smiling-2.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Stephen-Curry-smiling-2.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" alt=\"Warriors' Steve Kerr hints at Stephen Curry injury plan after brutal Nuggets loss\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3296647\">Neville E.
