Warriors coach Steve Kerr says Stephen Curry will play in the play-in tourney if available.<\/p>\n

DALLAS (AP) \u2014\u00a0Stephen Curry will be available for the SoFi Play-In Tournament<\/a> if his ailing right knee allows.<\/p>\n

Golden State coach Steve Kerr dismissed the notion that the Warriors would sit their superstar without a guaranteed spot in the playoffs on Monday. Kerr said before Golden State\u2019s game at Dallas that Curry\u2019s planned participation in practice\u00a0a day earlier was put off by the medical staff.<\/p>\n

A six-game road trip ends against the Mavericks, and the Warriors will decide what\u2019s next for Curry after they get home.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all just part of the rehab and all the different testing he does,\u201d Kerr said. \u201cJust pushed back a day or two.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Warriors are in 10th place in the Western Conference, and if they finish the season in that final spot in the Play-In Tournament, they would have to win two road games to make the playoffs. Curry hasn\u2019t played since Jan. 30 as he deals with patella-femoral pain syndrome and bone bruising in the knee.<\/p>\n

Golden State entered Monday 23-16 with Curry and 10-22 without him, including a 1-8 stretch that has dropped them to 6-15 since his latest injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not chasing a Play-In berth. We are squarely in the Play-In no matter what we do,\u201d Kerr said. \u201cBottom line, if Steph is healthy, he\u2019s going to play because that\u2019s what we\u2019re here for. The chance to get into the playoffs is a big deal for us, big deal for Steph.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Warriors coach Steve Kerr says Stephen Curry will play in the play-in tourney if available.
