Coming off a red-hot 40 point performance on Monday against the Houston Rockets, Steph Curry will get the night off for the second leg of a road back-to-back on Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs.
Curry isn’t the only member of the Warriors ruled out against the Spurs.
Klay Thompson (right Achilles injury management), Andrew Wiggins (left knee soreness), Nemanja Bjelica (back spasms), Otto Porter Jr. (left foot injury management) will join Curry, Draymond Green and James Wiseman on the bench on Tuesday night.

Steph Curry is out tonight in San Antonio. Sitting on the second night of a back-to-back. Warriors will also be without Andrew Wiggins, Otto Porter, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, Draymond Green, Nemanja Bjelica, James Wiseman. Skeleton crew.

With four starters and multiple key bench pieces out, the Warriors will only have nine available players against Dejounte Murray, Keldon Johnson and the Spurs.
Against the Spurs, the Warriors will lean on Jordan Poole, Kevon Looney, Damion Lee, Gary Payton II. Rookie Moses Moody and Jonathan Kuminga could also see an increased role on Tuesday.
Following Tuesday’s contest against the Spurs, the Warriors will play the Sacramento Kings on Thursday before getting the entire weekend off. With only three games this week, the Warriors will get three days of rest before coming into a contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday, Feb. 7.
