Curry out for week or more, team says
who will begin to participate in modified team practices Saturday, remains on track to return for the Western Conference semifinals, which could begin as early as April 28.
After recent practices, Curry has been seen shooting the basketball and working through rehab exercises. With Curry limited to 25 total minutes over their final 17 regular-season games, the Warriors went 7-10. Curry, whose 51 games this regular season were his fewest since 2011-12, averaged 26.4 points, 6.1 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals.
In Curry’s absence, swingman Andre Iguodala has started the first three playoff games. Outside of Curry, guard Patrick McCaw (lumbar spine contusion) is out indefinitely. The status of forward Kevin Durant and guard Shaun Livingston, both of whom rolled their left ankles late in Thursday’s Game 3 win over San Antonio, remains unclear.
Kerr told reporters after Game 3 that Livingston’s injury was a bit worse than Durant’s, but added, “I think they’ll both be OK.”
