Stephen Curry had his minutes reduced in the 114-110 defeat to Minnesota Timberwolveslast Sunday, the 24th. Steve Kerrtechnician at Golden State Warriorsresponded to criticism about the decision to keep the star for less time on the court.
“We can’t expect him to play 35 minutes… if they want to say that him playing 30 minutes instead of 32 is the difference between a win and a loss, I totally disagree. We’re trying to win and trying to keep you rested too”, said the coach.

In this weekend’s game, Curry averaged 31 points in 30 minutes, more than one every 60 seconds. Even with the point guard’s great performance and the match being close until the end of the last quarter, Kerr chose to keep the star on the court for just six minutes during the decisive period.
“We can’t lean on Steph game after game after game. We have placed the burden of this franchise on your shoulders for 15 years,” Steve stated. This season, the best shooter of all time, he has 26.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 32.2 minutes per game.
