Warriors' Stephen Curry: Takes rest day Friday

Curry was given a rest day Friday and did not participate in practice, Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

Golden state head coach Steve Kerr will look for opportunities over the final six-plus weeks to keep Curry and the Warriors' other main contributors fresh in preparation for the playoffs. That could mean days off from practice or sitting a player for a game. Curry is expected to play Saturday night at home against Brooklyn.
