Golden State head coach Steve Kerr quashed any claims that MVP Stephen Curry is not at his peak, health-wise.
Curry finished with 19 points on 6-of-20 from the field in the Warriors’ 118-94 Game 4 loss against Oklahoma City in the Western Conference Finals.
Yahoo!’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported Curry was only at “70 percent” as the 73-win Warriors now trail the Thunder 3-1 in the seven-game series.
“Is that ‘Sources with knowledge of the team’s thinking’? That’s my favorite expression these days. ‘Sources with knowledge of the team’s intimate thinking.’ Well who would that be? I don’t know,” said Kerr as per FoxSports.com.
As per Wojnarowski’s report, it was a “source close to Curry” who said the two-time MVP was not at a hundred percent.
Kerr added no one in his team told him Curry was not in prime condition.
“Nobody has said anything about Steph being 70 percent to me — our training staff, relatives, friends, sources with knowledge of our team’s thinking. Nobody has told me he’s 70 percent. Apparently they told the media, but they didn’t tell me.”
