# Breaking News: Warriors Bench Stephen Curry for Upcoming Match Due to Injury Concerns

 

In a shocking turn of events, the Golden State Warriors have announced that superstar point guard Stephen Curry will be benched for their next game against the Miami Heat. This decision comes as a result of a pelvic contusion that Curry sustained during a recent matchup against the Toronto Raptors.

 

## Details of the Injury

 

– **Injury Description**: Curry suffered a pelvic contusion after a hard fall late in the third quarter of the game against the Raptors.

– **Impact on Team**: This marks the second consecutive game that Curry will miss, following his absence in the Warriors’ recent loss to the Atlanta Hawks.

– **Team Decision**: Despite participating in practice on Monday, the Warriors’ medical staff has deemed Curry not fully healthy, leading to the decision to keep him out of the lineup for the crucial game against Miami [[3]](https://sports.yahoo.com/article/warriors-massive-stephen-curry-announcement-221451737.html).

 

## Implications for the Warriors

 

– **Increased Roles for Other Players**: With Curry sidelined, players like Gary Payton II and Buddy Hield are expected to step up and fill the void left by the star point guard.

– **Upcoming Match Significance**: This game is particularly significant as it marks Jimmy Butler’s first matchup against his former team since being traded to the Warriors. The Warriors will need to rally together to secure a win against a struggling Heat team that has lost 10 of their last 11 games [[3]](https://sports.yahoo.com/article/warriors-massive-stephen-curry-announcement-221451737.html).

 

The Warriors are currently on a strong run, having won eight of their last ten games, but Curry’s absence could pose a significant challenge as they aim to maintain their momentum in the playoffs.
