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.

Curry misses a second straight game with illness after sitting vs Sacramento. He leads the NBA in made threes and paces Golden State in scoring and steals. Rookie Will Richard impressed with 30 points starting in his place Wednesday. Without Curry, Golden State leans on perimeter creation by committee and Richard’s spacing.

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.

With just nine players under contract and Jonathan Kuminga’s deal unresolved, Golden State are eyeing a reunion with Kelly Oubre Jr. Reports suggest Philadelphia are open to moving him, and the Warriors may use their trade exception to bring him back. Oubre averaged 15.3 points with the 76ers last season and remains a downhill threat. Though his efficiency has been questioned, his scoring could bolster the Warriors’ bench. Familiarity from his 2020-21 stint makes him a natural fit as Golden State weigh roster options
