SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry will not play in Sunday’s game at the Minnesota Timberwolves due to right-hand soreness, the team said.
This will be the fourth game the two-time MVP has missed for the Warriors (31-11) this season, according to Basketball-Reference.
Splash Brother Klay Thompson will play, however, after missing Friday’s game against the Chicago Bulls.
He wasn’t hurt, but the team has said Thompson will not play in back-to-back games — since the team was at Milwaukee Thursday against the Bucks.
Curry only played five of 65 games during the 2019-20 season due to a hand injury, but that was his left hand.
He did admit to having “PTSD” after the fall and hurting his hand against the Bulls on Friday, according to NBC Sports Bay Area.
Other Warriors out against the Timberwolves:
- Draymond Green (calf)
- Moses Moody (G-League assignment)
- James Wiseman (knee)
- Gary Payton II is questionable (lower-back tightness)
On Sunday afternoon, the Warriors posted an update on Green’s condition saying he would receive physical therapy and will be monitored by the medical and training staff.
Green came out of last Sunday’s game with a sore left calf. After being evaluated and undergoing an MRI on his lower back, officials say the soreness to the left calf is “tied to the involvement of a disc in his lower back.”
In two weeks, Green will be reevaluated.
