The Golden State Warriors are in no rush to get Stephen Curry back, as they are currently enjoying a 2-0 lead in their playoffs first-round matchup with the San Antonio Spurs. That said, the two-time league MVP will be lending his teammates support from the sidelines in Games 3 and 4 of the series, per Mark Medina of The Mercury News.
As expected, Stephen Curry will travel with the Warriors for Games 3 and 4 in San Antonio. Warriors leave Wednesday and will be there until Sunday, which gives Curry ability to rehab with training staff & be around the team.
Even without Curry for the first two games of the playoffs, the Warriors have been finding almost zero troubles in dominating San Antonio in the series. The defending NBA champions have beaten the Spurs by an average margin of 18.0 points. In their 116-101 win in Game 2 on Tuesday, Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson carried the bulk of Golden State’s offense, scoring 32 and 31 points, respectively, while the team, in general, shot 52.6 percent from the field.
In addition, the Warriors are also pacing all playoffs teams in field goals made (42.5 per game) and field goal percentage (53.5).
Stephen Curry has not played since Mar. 25 due to a left knee issue, and he is currently pegged to return in the second round, assuming, of course, that the Warriors will go on to eliminate the Spurs from title contention.
Game 3 of the series will be played this Thursday at the AT&T Center in San Antonio.
