Warriors hit hard! Seth Curry to miss at least two weeks due to sciatic nerve issues; LeBron once rested for 40 days for the same reason

On December 29th Beijing time, the Golden State Warriors officially stated that guard Seth Curry has been sidelined for the past three games due to injury. He recently had MRI scans on his lower back and pelvic area. The diagnosis confirmed that his injury involves the sciatic nerve. He is scheduled for a follow-up assessment in two weeks.

A seasoned player with 12 years in the league, Curry has appeared in just two games for the Warriors since rejoining the team on December 1st. The 35-year-old participated in training camp and preseason with the Warriors but was cut before the 2025-26 regular season began because his veteran minimum contract exceeded the team’s secondary luxury tax hard cap limit at that time.

At 35 years old, Curry’s lengthy NBA career is largely attributed to his excellent shooting skills—he boasts a career three-point shooting percentage of 43.3%, ranking seventh in NBA history. Standing 1.85 meters tall and playing as a combo guard, he is the younger brother of Warriors superstar Stephen Curry and graduated from Duke University in 2013, though he unfortunately went undrafted in the NBA draft.

Notably, LeBron James struggled with sciatic nerve pain before the start of this season. He made his return on November 19th after a total rest period of 40 days.

The Warriors have started a back-to-back road trip: facing the Raptors today and the Nets on Tuesday. Melton, who missed most of last season due to an ACL tear, is out today managing a left knee injury. Horford played in today’s game but will miss Tuesday’s match—he had previously been sidelined with sciatic nerve pain and has just recently recovered, still unable to handle back-to-back games.
