AFP, Los Angeles :
The tantalizing prospect of Stephen Curry’s return remained on hold Saturday as Golden State coach Steve Kerr said he wouldn’t suit up for game one of the Warriors’ second-round playoff series against New Orleans.
“Steph will not play tonight,” Kerr said shortly before the game in Oakland.
“We just made that decision based on giving him the extra few days, and the fact that he only scrimmaged yesterday. When you’ve been out five weeks, in order to play in the playoffs, I don’t think one scrimmage is enough.
“He feels great and he wants to play, he pleaded his case, but we’re going to sit him tonight.”
