Overview
- Part one of Curry’s appearance on LeBron James and Steve Nash’s Mind the Game podcast is out, featuring his reflection that Trae Young’s arrival made him recognize his influence on a new generation.
- Nash recounted that defending Curry in a 2014 preseason game convinced him it was time to retire, a story the trio discussed on the show.
- Golden State held meetings with Curry, Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler, GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. and performance director Rick Celebrini to plan targeted rest for veterans during a dense schedule.
- After playing through a cold and saying his tank was on “E” in a win over the Suns, Curry was ruled out by Steve Kerr for the next night against the Kings to prioritize recovery.
- The Warriors opened 4-3 with recent road stumbles, and Kerr said the staff is using minute loads and movement data to guide decisions as part two of the podcast is expected later.
