SAN FRANCISO —Golden State Warriors<\/a> starStephen Curry<\/a>will not make the upcoming road trip toPhiladelphia<\/a>, Cleveland<\/a>and Chicago<\/a>because of a left thigh contusion, extending his absence at least three more games.<\/p>\n

Curry was set for an official re-evaluation on Thursday, but Warriors coach Steve Kerr got in front of the update. He called Curry a “long shot” to return by the weekend, so Kerr, Curry and Rick Celebrini, the franchise’s lead medical decision-maker, opted to leave him back in the Bay Area for treatment.<\/p>\n

Curry injured his quad<\/a> last Wednesday night in a home loss to the Houston Rockets<\/a>. It’ll ultimately force him to miss at least five games, but Kerr sounded optimistic that Curry should be back for Golden State’s home game next Friday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The team has four days off after the road trip and two practices in the lead up.<\/p>\n

It’s also unclear whether the Warriors will have their second star, Jimmy Butler<\/a>, to open the road trip Thursday night against the Sixers. Butler missed the second half of Tuesday night’s 124-112 loss<\/a> to the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a> because of a sore left knee.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know anything more,” Kerr said. “I didn’t even know (he was out) until I was drawing up a play with a minute to go (before the second half) and somebody came in the huddle and said Jimmy is down.”<\/p>\n

Butler came into the game questionable with a glute contusion. He has also battled some ankle and back soreness early this season for a veteran Warriors team that has wobbled to an 11-11 record through 22 games.<\/p>\n

Down 22 to the Thunder, the depleted Warriors made a surprising second-half surge and briefly took the lead in the fourth quarter, in part due to Seth Curry<\/a> scoring 14 points in 14 bench minutes in his debut<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But the defending champions closed strong. Reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander<\/a> finished with 38 points to bump the Thunder’s record to 21-1, sending the Warriors out on the road reeling after a 2-3 homestand.<\/p>\n
