Stephen Curry’s time as a sixth-man will be short-lived. The Warriors guard and two-time MVP will be back in his starting role when the Golden State’s second-round playoff series against the Pelicans shifts to New Orleans for Game 3 Friday.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr has made it a policy to not announce his starting lineup ahead of games this postseason — it’s become a bit of a running joke between him and us in the media seven games in — but he slipped up in a radio interview Wednesday, admitting that Curry will start in Game 3.
He’s the greatest shooter in the history of the NBA — of course he’ll start.
