Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters Thursday that if Stephen Curry plays in Game 1 vs. the Nuggets this weekend, he’ll be on a minutes restriction. He could even come off the bench, but that has yet to be determined.
Curry missed the last 12 games of the regular season with a sprained ligament and bone bruise in his left foot. He was injured on March 16 when Celtics guard Marcus Smart dove for a loose ball at Curry’s feet, but the Warriors star always maintained his optimism for being ready for the postseason.
