Draymond Green, Curry’s teammate, emphasized that the Warriors will not force Curry’s return if he is not fully recovered. “We’re not going to ‘Superman’ this,” Green stated, highlighting the importance of caution in Curry’s recovery.
In Game 4, Curry’s absence was especially felt in the third quarter, where the Timberwolves managed a 17-0 run that made the difference in the game. The Warriors were outscored 39-17 in that crucial period.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr noted that the team will seek solutions to improve performance in the next game, especially on offense. The team will need its key players to raise their level to have a chance of success.
Anthony Edwards, Timberwolves star, expressed his desire to face Curry on the court, acknowledging the importance of the Warriors point guard in the game. Edwards highlighted his admiration for Curry and his impact on basketball.
