Warriors Expect Stephen Curry Back Friday, With Pat Spencer Set to Stay in Mix

Kerr says Spencer will get minutes next to Curry.

Overview

  • Steve Kerr said Curry is "looking good" for Friday against the Timberwolves after the star fully practiced and scrimmaged on Wednesday.
  • Golden State went 3-2 without Curry and is 13-12 overall, riding a recent stretch of top-tier defensive metrics and multiple sub-100-point stops.
  • Kerr plans to keep two-way guard Pat Spencer in the rotation and pair him with Curry, citing Spencer’s impact on pace, driving and playmaking.
  • Spencer started twice and averaged roughly 14 points and five assists over the last five games, boosting efficiency with strong finishing and selective threes.
  • Spencer’s two-way deal limits him to 50 games and a conversion would require a roster move and cap flexibility the Warriors currently lack, complicating any long-term solution.
