Is Steph Curry going to start in Game 3? Steve Kerr's answer is crystal clear

Steve Kerr delivered some bad news to Nick Young on Wednesday afternoon:

Steph Curry will start in Game 3 on Friday night in New Orleans.

"Oh yeah, yeah. He'll start Game 3," Kerr told Damon Bruce of 95.7 The Game. "You don't keep a guy like that on the bench for long ... now that the focus shifts and there's a few days until the next game, he's gonna play a few more minutes -- so he'll be in the starting lineup."

Young started the first two games against the Pelicans -- playing just under 21 minutes in Game 1 and about 11 minutes in Game 2.
