Steve Kerr on resting Steph Curry to tank: ‘We haven’t spent one second discussing that’

BOSTON — In a lottery-bound season, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr isn’t concerned about maintaining favorable odds to land the No. 1 draft pick. Not if it means delaying the return of Stephen Curry.

In other words, he’s not succumbing to tanking: “We haven’t spent one second discussing that dynamic, that winning could hurt us,” Kerr said. “When you’re 10-38, winning sounds really good.”

After undergoing left hand surgery in November, Curry will be re-evaluated on Feb. 1 and is expected to play again this season. If he returns in March, he would be available for more than 20 games, during which he would increase Golden State’s chances of winning.
