“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.

“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.”
