SAN FRANCISCO — Thursday's practice brought more good news about Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry. He scrimmaged with the team for 18 minutes, and there were no reported problems.

Steve Kerr spoke with the media to share details about the plan for Curry during Saturday's Game 1 against Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets.

“Steph did scrimmage three six-minute segments. He felt good. That's another checkpoint to hit, and he's optimistic that he'll play on Saturday,” Kerr told ClutchPoints. “But we'll have to reevaluate tomorrow to see how his foot responds overnight. Right now, things are looking good. His conditioning is good. It's good for him to get out there and play because of the speed of the game, and he's got to feel all that stuff and get some rest but a good day overall.”

The Warriors have been very cautious with their players when it comes to injuries of late, never in a rush to make any player return before he's ready.  Their long-term health is the team's biggest concern, which is why Curry is set to play under a minutes restriction whenever he ultimately re-takes the floor.

“I don't know what the number is, but he's not playing 30, 35 minutes,” Kerr confessed.

Since Curry will have some type of minutes restriction, it's a possibility he will come off the bench. Kerr informed the media that he's yet to discuss an updated playing rotation with his coaching staff, and plans on doing so tomorrow if Curry is cleared to play in Game 1.

The Warriors and Nuggets will tip off their first-round series on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. (PST) from Chase Center.
