Stephen Curry was willing to play; team plays it safe
HOUSTON — Stephen Curry did not play Thursday night in Game 3, but only after prolonged conversation and contemplation among Warriors officials.
Head coach Steve Kerr and general manager Bob Myers joined a subsequent discussion, and a consensus emerged to give Curry at least two more days to recover.
[...] ultimately, we didn’t feel comfortable after four straight days of inactivity, throwing him into the middle of a playoff game not knowing how the ankle would respond.
The decision was made by Kerr, Myers, Maloney and the training staff, with input from Curry.
The fact he hasn’t done much live work in practice, it’s hard to know what he can do in game situations.
The list includes President Obama, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, actor Leonardo DiCaprio and golfer Jordan Spieth, among others.
Rockets owner Leslie Alexander announced he would donate $500,000 to the Greater Houston Storm Relief Fund, in the wake of widespread flooding this week.
