Warriors’ message to fans hoping to see Steph Curry: Prepare to be disappointed

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has advised fans to review the team schedule carefully before purchasing tickets, indicating that 38-year-old Stephen Curry will face managed minutes and likely miss games. The Warriors enter the season dealing with 15 back-to-back sets, prompting the coaching staff to routinely rest multiple veteran players to preserve their physical health over the 82-game campaign.

In addition to managing Curry's runner's knee, the Warriors plan to monitor the workloads of older players including Draymond Green and Al Horford, as well as recovering teammates Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody. With Kristaps Porzingis sidelined indefinitely and Kerr actively adjusting expectations, the team is focusing on physical sustainability rather than setting explicit championship mandates.
