SAN FRANCISCO — Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry sat out his third straight game because of an illness, a 114-83 win over the also shorthanded Indiana Pacers on Sunday night, but is expected back for Tuesday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Curry came down with the illness after the Warriors’ recent trip to Indianapolis and Milwaukee. He played through it in a Tuesday night home win over the Phoenix Suns but said his tank was on empty in the second half. Curry stayed home during the Warriors’ road losses at Sacramento on Wednesday and Denver on Friday.

After four days of rest, Curry was initially deemed questionable against the Pacers, but Warriors coach Steve Kerr said before the game that the team’s medical staff opted to take a cautious approach and ruled out Curry. After the game, Kerr said the team expected Curry to be back for Tuesday’s game in Oklahoma City, which will kick off a five-city, six-game trip.

The Warriors opened the season 4-1 but entered Sunday having lost four out of their past five games. Including the playoffs, Golden State had lost eight straight games without Curry but broke the streak Sunday against a Pacers team missing a chunk of its rotation. Pascal Siakam, among others, was out after Indiana lost at Denver on Saturday night.
