OAKLAND, calif. — NBA star Stephen Curry was expected back on the court for more shooting Monday to test his sprained right knee, still with the hope that he could be ready to play in Game 3 of the Golden State Warriors' Western Conference semifinal series at Portland on Saturday.

Coach Steve Kerr said Monday that the league's reigning MVP wouldn't be available for Tuesday's Game 2, with the Warriors up 1-0 in the best-of-seven series after a 118-106 victory in the opener Sunday.

"I'll just say he's doubtful just so we give everybody something to chew on," Kerr joked.
