Stephen Curry will make his return to action tonight and is expected to play around 25 minutes against the defending champions Toronto Raptors.
The head coach of the Warriors, Steve Kerr, revealed the news while speaking to KNBR Radio and detailed what Curry’s minutes limitation and game plan look like from here on.
“I’m just kind of looking at it as if this were the end of training camp and he’s just starting the season. So, it’s mainly about minutes now. We’ll play him in shorter bursts tomorrow, probably five- or six-minute bursts. I imagine we’ll keep him around 25 minutes.
Over the next couple weeks, I want to get him back to his normal 32- or 34-minute a night role. At that point, he could really get some good time on the floor with Andrew and with Draymond, the three of them together. And then all of our young guys, who he hasn’t played with,” Kerr said, via Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area.
Curry has been sidelined since October 30, after breaking his left hand and undergoing surgery.
