The Story in 60 Seconds

Blue Man Hoop's Peter O'Keefe argues that Stephen Curry's two-year, $116 million contract extension with the Golden State Warriors could become a major problem due to regular rest absences. Curry sat out Golden State's 131-122 loss to the Phoenix Suns on the second night of a back-to-back, just three games into the new NBA season.

The writer believes the Warriors lack the roster depth to remain competitive when managing the 38-year-old guard's workload. Alongside injuries to other players, O'Keefe questions whether Curry's heavy resting will diminish the value of his high-priced contract extension.
