Steve Kerr sheds light on Steph Curry’s workload amid hectic schedule

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has opened up on managing talisman Stephen Curry’s minutes amid the hectic schedule of the NBA. Curry holds the key for the Dubs and it is imperative for Kerr to manage his workload.

After the Emirates NBA Cup has been added to the schedule, managing the workload of key players has become even more important.

“I think things evolve, things change,” Steve Kerr told reporters on Sunday. “I’d be interested to ask Steph and LeBron if they would want fewer games. I would guess that they would want fewer. But the league has really changed a lot.”

“We need that extra rest. We have too many games right now. The players play so hard, they have to train so hard. I have to coach these guys and I see it. I played myself 15 years in the NBA. It’s something that I feel very strongly about that we could come to a position where we have a stronger product and a stronger league if we cut the schedule down,” he said (per Sporting News).

Kerr admitted that reducing the number of games will not be easy as it will have a direct impact on the profit of the league.

“I just have so much faith in Adam Silver and respect for the league management. What I don’t have faith in is America’s willingness to maybe cut back on a few profits here and there in the name of quality. I don’t think that’s in our nature,” he said.

Kerr added it is pivotal to adapt and change according to rule changes, and style changes.

“My first year coaching, we were No. 1 in the league in pace. I believe that same pace this year would be 20th in the league or something. So, you have to adapt to the rule changes, the style changes, different coaches come in and introduce different things,” he said.

The Warriors have got off to a 12-4 start in the ongoing season and will take on the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday.
