Curry has been out over a month with a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his left knee. He has been targeting the second round for a comeback, but head coach Steve Kerr told reporters on Monday that the two-time MVP is “not going to play anytime soon.”
Golden State beat San Antonio 3-1 in their opening round series, while the No. 6 seeded Pelicans swept the No. 3 Blazers.
