Despite having their full roster available, Golden State faltered at crucial moments, particularly in the fourth quarter where turnovers proved costly. Stephen Curry appeared fatigued according to Kerr’s post-game assessment, while the team collectively described their performance as “awful.” Aaron Gordon stepped up for Denver with an impressive 38-point performance that helped the undermanned Nuggets maintain control throughout the contest, exposing Golden State’s defensive weaknesses and ball security issues.
Steve Kerr Admits Stephen Curry Is Running Out Of Gas
Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has openly acknowledged that superstar Stephen Curry is experiencing significant fatigue. Following Monday’s defeat to the Denver Nuggets, Kerr expressed concern about his marquee player’s energy levels.
“He’s exhausted,” Kerr stated bluntly about Curry’s condition. The coach emphasized that Curry has been the team’s primary offensive engine for weeks, shouldering an enormous workload throughout the season.
Despite his fatigue, Curry still managed to contribute 20 points, 4 rebounds, and 7 assists against Denver. However, his performance showed signs of diminished explosiveness that has characterized his play all year.
Kerr has committed to prioritizing rest for Curry in the immediate future. With the Warriors holding a 39-29 record, the team must carefully manage their star’s minutes to ensure he’s fresh for the final stretch of the season.
Key factors in Curry’s fatigue:
- Carrying offensive load for extended period
- Heavy minutes (35 against Denver alone)
- Constant defensive attention from opponents
