With Curry inching closer to 40 years old, the Warriors face the challenge of managing the four-time NBA champion’s workload. Last season, the two-time league MVP dealt with multiple injuries at different points, including a hamstring strain he suffered during the playoffs.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr confirmed that the team will take a more cautious approach this time. He noted that Curry will be on a minutes restriction against the Lakers while confirming his availability for the game.

"I talked to Steph today and Rick (Celebrini). (Steph) is going to play 15 minutes probably," Kerr said on Friday.

While Steph Curry’s participation was confirmed, Kerr placed a "question mark" on Jimmy Butler’s status. Butler sustained a minor ankle injury on Thursday and sat out of team practices over the next two days. A final decision on the star forward’s availability will be made by the training staff ahead of tip-off.
