Wed Mar 19 01:00:00 UTC 2025: **Warriors Star Stephen Curry to Sit Out Against Bucks Due to Fatigue**

**Milwaukee, WI – March 18, 2025** – Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry will miss Tuesday night’s highly anticipated game against the Milwaukee Bucks due to fatigue, the team announced. The 37-year-old point guard, who recently achieved the milestones of 25,000 career points and 4,000 career three-pointers, will be rested to address exhaustion after a month of carrying the team’s offensive load.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr confirmed Curry’s absence, citing the player’s depleted energy levels following a recent string of games. “He’s tired. Steph’s been carrying us for a month,” Kerr stated after Monday’s loss to the Denver Nuggets. “He’s amazing, but we gotta get him some rest.”

Curry’s recent performance reflects his fatigue. In his last five games, he shot a combined 37% from the field and 32% from three-point range. While his March averages are still respectable (25.7 points, 6.7 assists), they pale in comparison to his spectacular February performance (30.7 points per game). His season average of 24.3 points is his lowest in five years.

Teammate Gary Payton II echoed Kerr’s sentiments, noting the constant defensive pressure Curry faces. “He has a guy on his hip 48 minutes of the game,” Payton explained. “I’m pretty sure he’s a little gassed.”

The Warriors will hope the rest will rejuvenate Curry before their next game against the Toronto Raptors on Thursday. The team will look to other players, including Jimmy Butler III, who scored a team-high 23 points against the Nuggets, to step up in Curry’s absence against the Bucks.
