Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Saturday that Stephen Curry, already ruled out for Game 1 of the second-round series against the Portland Trail Blazers, is unlikely to play in Game 2, either.
"I'm not going to rule him out for Tuesday," Kerr said, according to ESPN's Marc Stein. "But there's obviously not much of a chance."
On Friday, Curry said he was optimistic he could return from his MCL sprain ahead of the Warriors' two-week timeline, which he called an "educated guess."
The Warriors and Blazers have a four-day break between Games 2 and 3, so the two-week estimate would peg Curry's return for Game 4 on Monday, May 9.

The soon-to-be repeat MVP hasn't been on the court since suffering the right knee injury in Game 4 against the Houston Rockets last Monday. That incident came with Curry already dealing with an ankle issue on the same leg.
