In an interview with NBC Sports, Warriors coach Steve Kerr cautioned fans to limit their expectations with respect to Steph Curry's return. Ahead of the Warriors vs Raptors clash, GSW veteran coach Steve Kerr said, "We'll probably play him in shorter bursts. Normally over the years, our fans have watched him play the whole first quarter, sit out six minutes of the second quarter and then finish the half and ultimately that's what we'll probably get to. But, [against the Raptors we'll] probably play him in six-minute bursts and below 30 minutes, for sure. Probably somewhere in the 25-minute range."

“He talks to everybody. It’s weird for me. Somebody being so good you expect them to have an ego, but he talks to everybody like they’re on the same level as him.”
