This isn’t the first time hearing of sickness in the Finals this year as Cleveland Cavaliers guard Matthew Dellavedova was unable to speak to the media following Game 3 because of severe cramping he experienced due to hydration that forced him to go to hospital.

Curry scored a team-high 37-points to help the Warriors take a 3-2 series lead against the Cavaliers.

The Warriors will have a chance to win the NBA title in Cleveland on Tuesday.
