Warriors say Curry ‘doubtful’ for Game 4 against Blazers

PORTLAND, Ore. — Gym bag slung over his shoulder, Stephen Curry walked off the court after practice Sunday and politely declined an interview.

“I would just say he’s doubtful for tomorrow, but he’s slowly and surely making progress,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said.

Kerr was hardly ruling out Curry from playing Monday in Game 4 against the Portland Trail Blazers in the Western Conference semifinals, a series the Warriors lead 2-1.

Kerr said Curry was expected to go through the pregame shootaround, taking the next step after having participated in the team’s light practice and gone through a 3-on-3 session. As is customary when the reigning MVP does a post-practice workout and his playing status is uncertain, the court was closed to the media.

“He looked pretty good following what he did yesterday in terms of movement, and conditioning’s going to be an issue, but hopefully he can get more and more work, and we’ll see how he comes up tomorrow in terms of getting a night’s sleep coming off the workout,” Kerr said.

Kerr said Curry had not yet begun campaigning to play. But things could change if the team’s medical staff clears him in the morning.

Asked if he would have to monitor his minutes if Curry can play, Kerr said, “We’re hoping to have that problem. That’ll be good to have to figure that out.”
