Golden State have ruled Stephen Curry out of their road finale in Miami due to right ankle soreness after he twice tweaked it on this trip, ending the Warriors star’s six-game swing a night early despite him finishing both previous contests. Coach Steve Kerr highlighted a brutal schedule that has given Golden State no practice time and 17 games in 30 days, with Al Horford and Jonathan Kuminga also sidelined, as he renewed calls for fewer regular season games to protect players and performance levels.

Stephen Curry scored 34 points in a defeat to Orlando to move past Vince Carter into 22nd on the NBA all time scoring list, reaching 25,749 career points while continuing a season that has him averaging 29.1 points per game for Golden State. He hit the milestone on a second quarter three pointer and now closes in on Kevin Garnett’s 26,071 total, reflecting that passing Carter feels special after childhood one on one games during his father’s Toronto stint and recognising this climb strengthens his case among the league’s greatest scorers.

Wembanyama hit by new calf strain as fast-starting Spurs lose their star again

Victor Wembanyama will miss time with a left calf strain after a dominant early season in which he averaged huge numbers and drove the Spurs to their best start in a decade, raising fresh concern after last year’s deep vein thrombosis limited him to 46 games. He left the loss to Golden State after a 26-point, 12-rebound performance and then sat out the win over Sacramento while undergoing scans. Expected to miss two to three weeks, he now focuses on recovery while San Antonio try to keep momentum without their shot-blocking, scoring and rebounding focal point.

The New Orleans Pelicans dismissed head coach Willie Green after a 2-10 opening, installing assistant James Borrego as interim boss while Joe Dumars cited repeated losses in the same manner and a failure to establish nightly effort as key reasons for the decision. Green’s tenure was shaped by Zion Williamson’s recurring injuries and only two first round playoff exits, while Dumars rebuilt the roster with veterans and lottery picks that have yet to gel. Borrego inherits a struggling squad with 70 games left and vows to add toughness and his own imprint immediately.

Pacers lose breakout scorer Aaron Nesmith for at least four weeks with knee issue

Aaron Nesmith will miss at least a month with a left knee injury after going down in the defeat to the Suns, a major blow for an Indiana team already ravaged by absences and sitting 1-11 despite strong early scoring numbers from the versatile forward. Rick Carlisle said scans brought very good news compared to initial fears, with Nesmith out around four weeks but moving without a brace. The Pacers already lost Tyrese Haliburton for the season and are managing injuries to Bennedict Mathurin, Andrew Nembhard and Obi Toppin while Nesmith posts career highs in points and rebounds.

LeBron leads film-room accountability while sidelined

Out with sciatica, James drove a pointed film session after a 119–109 loss to Golden State—pressing on 20 turnovers and open threes conceded. Redick endorsed constant player-coach dialogue as the Lakers target cleaner decision-making without their floor general. Emphasis areas: early offense spacing, tighter weak-side tags, simplified coverages versus split cuts, and turnover hygiene. Luka Dončić’s 43-12-9 was a positive; the groin tweak was treated and participation resumed, with optimism for short-term availability.

Warriors’ high-age core aims to contend under tighter margins

October 2025

Golden State fortified the middle with Al Horford and retained key guards, betting experience can offset athletic decline. Last season’s Butler trade re-energised defense and late-game offense, but durability will dictate ceiling in a crowded West. Curry (37), Butler (36), Green (35), Horford (39) require managed loads and lineup insulation from Brandin Podziemski/Moses Moody. Scheme leans spacing, switchability, and free-throw leverage; health variability remains the central risk to postseason viability.

Brandin Podziemski impressed with expanded touches. Kerr is calibrating lineups for health, defense, and shooting balance. Early availability for Butler will shape opening rotations around Curry’s usage.
