The Warriors will have had four days off between Sunday's blowout victory in Chicago and the matchup with Minnesota, thanks to the NBA Cup schedule. Curry spent the last three road games working out with the Warriors' medical staff in the Bay Area and practiced with the team at Chase Center on Wednesday afternoon. "For Friday, he's day-to-day, but its looking good," coach Steve Kerr said. Curry was a full participant in practice, and was involved in the team's scrimmage.
Missing a third of their players on Saturday night in Cleveland, the Warriors needed their ragtag group to play with supreme effort, take care of the ball and make a few timely shots to stay competitive. If they did those things, perhaps the Warriors missing Steph and Seth Curry, Draymond Green (foot), Al Horford (sciatica), Jimmy Butler (knee) and De'Anthony Melton (rest) would stand a chance against the full-strength Cavs with Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley.
