When he\u00b4s emotionally tired, it affects his decision-making. He\u00b4s a little bit out of sorts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kerr said that Curry initially resisted the idea of taking a day off when the subject was brought up following Monday night&#8217;s 114-105 loss to the Denver Nuggets. Curry, who has logged 34 or more minutes in six of the Warriors&#8217; last 10 games, eventually relented.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u00b4ve got lots of experience with Steph. We know him well,&#8221; Kerr said. &#8220;He just needs a night off once in a while. He\u00b4s for sure earned it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Curry scored 20 points on 6-for-21 shooting against the Nuggets. It was the latest indication that the two-time NBA MVP might need a break.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last five games, Curry is shooting 37% from the floor (32 of 86) and 32.2% (19-59) from long distance.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Golden State Warriors&#8217; Stephen Curry drives past Denver Nuggets&#8217; Aaron Gordon in second quarter of their NBA game at Chase Center in San Francisco on Monday, March 17, 2025.
