Warriors' Steve Kerr Defends Steph Curry Playing Only 30 Minutes in Loss to T-Wolves

Steve Kerr isn't backing down from his decision to play Stephen Curry just 30 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

"We can't expect to just ride Steph game after game after game," Kerr told reporters. "We've put the burden of this franchise on his shoulders for 15 years. We can't expect him to play 35 minutes ... If you want to say that him playing 30 minutes instead of 32 is a difference between a win and a loss, I totally disagree with that. We're trying to win the game. And we're trying to keep him fresh, too.
