Dub Nation, the greatest shooter in NBA history will take the floor in the Warriors’ 2025-2026 NBA preseason opener.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, coach Steve Kerr revealed star guard Steph Curry’s minutes strategy during Golden State’s preseason opener on Oct. 5 against the Los Angeles Lakers at Chase Center.
To no surprise, Kerr and Co. will restrict Curry’s minutes, but the Chef will play, nonetheless.
“I talked to Steph today and Rick [Celebrini]. [Steph] is going to play 15 minutes probably,” Kerr told reporters on Friday.
Last season, Curry, with a massive scoring responsibility on his shoulders, recorded his 14th season with more than 32 minutes of average playing time.
Kerr also added that stars Jimmy Butler, who co-carried a substantial scoring load since being traded to the Warriors in February, and Draymond Green will also have their minutes limited.
“And the same plan will be there for Draymond and Jimmy, pending how they are feeling on Sunday,” Kerr added.
“We are going to scrimmage tomorrow as well. We will have to talk to the guys before the game Sunday, but 15 minutes sounds about right for that group, if they are playing.”
With a key issue for the Warriors being surviving non-Curry minutes, it appears the best strategy is managing the Chef’s workload from the get-go.
