“I doubt he’ll play tomorrow,” Kerr told reporters on Thursday. “With a back-to-back I don’t think it makes much sense. He’s probably going to want to, but I would say it’s more likely that he plays Saturday. If all goes well I expect him to play Saturday. Even if it goes well I would not expect him to play tomorrow.”
The former MVP sprained his right ankle while going for a steal against the New Orleans Pelicans on Dec. 4, and was initially expected to miss a minimum of three weeks. The Warriors have gone 9-1 in his absence, including a big Christmas win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Curry is averaging 26.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.7 steals over 23 games this season.
