MIAMI — Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry was ruled out before Tuesday night’s highly anticipated game against the Miami Heat.
Coach Steve Kerr said Curry felt something toward the end of his individual workout Monday, and it was decided that it was best to give the point guard more time to recover from a pelvic contusion he suffered last Thursday in a win over the Toronto Raptors.
Curry missed his second straight game.
Kerr said he hopes to have Curry back in the lineup Friday when the Warriors play at New Orleans.
“He worked out and looked good,” Kerr said before Tuesday’s game. “But at the very end of the workout, just one movement that he made just didn’t quite feel right.
“Knowing the schedule, knowing we’ve got the next two days off, I think it’ll be a full week when he returns. We expect him to return into New Orleans. We’ll see… a full week off and that could really take care of the injury and regenerate, recharge his batteries. So I think that’s a good plan.”
