When the Golden State Warriors started the 2025-26 season, Steph Curry's offseason comments about his team seemed less hyperbolic. In July, Curry had said that the Warriors could still win a title if the roster remained healthy. After 9 games, the Warriors are the 7th seed in the Western Conference. But Steve Kerr said that he believed that his team could finish among the top 4 teams by the end of the regular season. "I think we're good enough to think top-4, home court, but we haven't gotten there yet. We have some work to do," Kerr said on Bay Area's "95.7 The Game."While Kerr's aspirations are not unrealistic, the recent injuries certainly hurt them. In the last two games, the Warriors have seen the next two stars on the roster deal with injuries. While Steph Curry still recovers from his illness, Jimmy Butler could also be potentially out of the lineup in the next game. In the win against the Phoenix Suns, Butler exited the game with back spasms. Draymond Green also had to miss Wednesday's game with a rin injury. So far, the Warriors have also not shown enough talent on the hardwood as a top 4 team in the loaded West. They are 16th in the league in offensive ratings and 10th in defensive ratings. The Warriors are also one of the worst rebounding teams in the league.On top of that, Kerr also has the second-oldest roster in the league, and it might not help them in the playoffs, if they make it. Steve Kerr provides an update on Steph CurrySteph Curry missed the Warriors vs the Sacramento Kings game on Wednesday due to illness, and now there is a fear that the 4x NBA champion might miss some more games due to his health condition. Steve Kerr told reporters that Curry had started feeling the symptoms by the end of the Warriors vs Suns game on Tuesday. The Warriors star's condition worsened the next day when he woke up. Curry missed the next game with illness, but there were expectations that he would join the team for the next game. However, Kerr told reporters that his condition had gotten worse overnight."He texted back that things got worse overnight but that he's resting today at home and hopeful that, within the next couple of days, he'll be alright," Kerr told reporters.The Warriors will face the Denver Nuggets on Friday without Steph Curry.
