CelebNSports247.com reports that two days after he returned from a 58-game absence Stephen Curry is out with the flu.

The Warriors made sure to ease fans that Stephen Curry has “no specific risk factors for COVID-19. He has the seasonal flu.”

Warriors coach Steve Kerr said before the game.

I was with Steph [on Friday] in practice and also in Oakland yesterday afternoon, and he was fine. So he woke up this morning feeling sick. I know his young son was sick for a couple of days, so he probably got it from his son, but our doctors checked him out, and it is the basic flu.

It’s Curry’s latest setback to stunt his momentum the Warriors.

Coach Kerr noted that growing fear surrounding the coronavirus.

Kerr said.:

It’s absolutely a concern. Like everybody else, I’m reading about it. It’s something that our players and I have all talked about. We had our team doctor come in and address us a few days ago. So I’m no expert; I’m just like everybody else, just trying to learn about it. And it’s a concern, but we’re doing our job to come in and get ready for the game and play the game, and the league will tell us what will be next.

As for veteran forward Draymond Green, he will miss his fifth straight game because of left knee soreness, but Kerr said Green will get a workout in on Saturday night and the Warriors are optimistic he will be able to play Tuesday against the LA Clippers. – ESPN
