With the Western Conference’s top seed already secured, Golden State has no need to push Curry in the final two regular season games. The two-time Kia MVP finished with five points, one rebound and one assist.
Following the Warriors’ 112-103 victory over the Pelicans, coach Steve Kerr informed reporters that Curry would sit out the team’s finale on Wednesday, but that he would be “fine” for Game 1 of the playoffs.
Curry did not speak with reporters but also did not appear particularly distressed as he sat at his locker signing basketball shoes and showed no signs of a limp as he left the arena.
