dailyloe.com – Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry will be on a minutes restriction for the team’s crucial play-in game. Warriors coach Steve Kerr confirmed the plan for Curry and two other key players on Sunday. The play-in game against the Los Angeles Clippers is scheduled for Wednesday. It is a must-win contest to keep the Warriors’ season alive.
Kerr said Curry, Kristaps Porzingis, and Al Horford will all play fewer than 40 minutes. The game is a rematch of the regular-season finale played on Sunday. The Clippers won that previous matchup by a score of 115-110. A loss on Wednesday would end the Warriors’ season.
Golden State secured the final play-in tournament berth with a 37-45 record. Curry has been managing knee injuries for most of the current season. Teammate Jimmy Butler suffered a torn ACL back in early January. Horford has also been dealing with a calf injury.
Draymond Green and Kristaps Porzingis have both been nursing sore backs. The Warriors have tried to manage their aging superstars’ minutes all season. This strategy continues into the high-stakes play-in game. The team faces elimination if they cannot defeat the Clippers.[]
