MIAMI (AP) 鈥� Stephen Curry is going to take a little more time to heal.
Curry Tuesday night for a game against the Miami Heat, the second straight game he has missed with a pelvic contusion. He was going into the day, with the decision contingent on how he was feeling after a Monday workout.
Turns out, he's going to take a little more time.
鈥淗e just wasn鈥檛 quite there and we just can鈥檛 risk it," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. "He worked out yesterday and he looked good. But at the very end of the workout, just one movement that he made didn鈥檛 quite feel right.鈥�
Kerr said the expectation is that Curry will play Friday at New Orleans.
Curry got hurt Thursday in a game against Toronto, and didn鈥檛 play in Golden State鈥檚 loss at Atlanta on Saturday night. The 37-year-old is averaging 24.2 points and six assists per game this season on 39.4% shooting from 3-point range.
The Miami game was Golden State's first since Atlanta and is after his February trade to the Warriors. But the schedule 鈥� two days off before this game and two days off after 鈥� gives Curry a nice cushion of time.
鈥淭hat'll be a full week off," Kerr said. 鈥淭hat can really take care of the injury and regenerate, recharge his batteries. I think it's a good plan.鈥�
