Warriors' Curry out vs. Wolves with knee soreness

SAN FRANCISCO — Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry had an MRI on his ailing knee and the team is awaiting its results, coach Steve Kerr said Tuesday night.

Curry did not play in Tuesday’s in-season tournament game against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to right knee soreness, with the team ruling him out in the afternoon.

Curry took a hard fall in the second half of Sunday’s loss to Minnesota but immediately continued to play. However, he was seen rubbing his right knee.

Curry has been carrying a heavy load for the Warriors, averaging 30.7 points on 48.8% shooting from the floor, including 44.6% from 3. He has scored at least 30 points in six of Golden State’s 11 games thus far — scoring 40 or more in two.

There has only been one other Warrior to score over 20 points in a game this season: Dario Saric.

The Warriors and Timberwolves both head into Tuesday’s in-season tournament game 1-0 in Group C.
