After the Golden State Warriors experienced a 104-101 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night, notable for the absence of star player Steph Curry due to right knee soreness, Coach Steve Kerr shared optimistic news during a media session at Chase Center.

Kerr informed reporters, “There was good news with the MRI. Nothing alarming, so I would say he’s day to day and we’ll see. We’ll just have an update each day and let you know what’s going on, but it won’t be long. If he misses another game or two, or whatever, it’s not going to be anything long-term.”

Despite Curry’s absence and the early ejections of veterans Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, the Warriors almost secured a victory. Brandin Podziemski and Dario Šarić stepped up, becoming the first Warriors players, aside from Curry, to score more than 20 points in a game this season. As Golden State faces the potential of Curry missing additional games, maintaining offensive momentum becomes crucial.

Kerr’s positive update brings relief to the 6-6 Warriors, who currently hold the eighth-place spot in the Western Conference. Initially feared to have suffered a right knee sprain, further testing has allayed those concerns, indicating that Curry’s absence may not be prolonged.

Curry’s potential knee injury occurred in the second quarter of Golden State’s previous game against Minnesota on Sunday when he took a fall near the Timberwolves’ bench. Despite initially showing signs of discomfort, the 35-year-old guard continued playing, and the limp seemed to diminish as the game progressed.
