Stephen Curry Expected To Play Friday After Missing Thursday's Game
Stephen Curry is expected to return to the Golden State Warriors lineup on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves after missing Friday's game against the Houston Rockets with bilateral knee injury management. Curry has now missed two of Golden State's past four games. Draymond Green's status is less clear. Green missed his second straight game due to tightness in his left calf. Green underwent an MRI on Wednesday, which came back clean. "Steph's knee stuff the last couple of weeks ... he's in pain," Kerr said before facing the Rockets. "We're not playing him. We can't play him through this stretch every game and expect him to get through. I thought he looked really good in Denver. To me he looked more active, more agile, but we have to help him get through the woods on this one. "And same thing with Draymond, otherwise you're chasing your tail and then guys end up missing weeks at a time. So it's nothing more than training staff helping them get through the woods, and hopefully over the long haul that means they end up playing more games than they otherwise would've."
