Steve Kerr Committed To Finding Stephen Curry A Rest Day, Insists Superstar Guard Is Exhausted

Stephen Curry needs a break, and Warriors coach Steve Kerr is going to make it a priority to find some rest for his superstar.

Two games after becoming the first player in NBA history to reach 4,000 3-pointers and three days after his 37th birthday, Curry struggled to find his shooting groove in a 114-105 loss to the undermanned Denver Nuggets on Monday night.

"He's tired. Steph's been carrying us for a month, he's been amazing," Kerr said. "He's tired, so we've got to get him some rest. You can see it, he just doesn't have his energy right now."

Curry shot 6 for 21 overall and 4 of 14 on 3-pointers in just less than 36 minutes on the way to 20 points and also had seven assists and four rebounds, but committed seven of the Warriors' 20 turnovers that led to 24 points for Denver.

"We try to take the pressure off him as much as we can," guard Gary Payton II said. "He has a guy on his hip 48 minutes of the game. I'm pretty sure he's a little gassed."
