“So you go for it”: Steve Kerr makes brutally honest admission about Stephen Curry’s potential final playoff

When the age factor kicks in, almost everything is uncertain in sports. Of course, Stephen Curry is still an elite NBA star at 38, but the picture of reality should also be taken into consideration. It is uncertain how long the Warriors veteran can play, and his latest injury has raised the question again. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has given an update on Curry’s injury, and with that, he also makes a brutally honest admission that Curry’s days in the league are numbered. It is high time to play him on the team, as this could be his final playoff, if the Warriors manage to secure the spot.At 38, Stephen Curry is still effective, yet uncertainty surrounds how many more opportunities like this remain. That context framed Steve Kerr’s candid message as he spoke about Curry’s potential return."We’re squarely in the play-in tournament, no matter what we do. The bottom line is that if Steph is healthy, he’s going to play,” Kerr recently said.“It’s what we’re here for. And the chance to get in the playoffs is a big deal for us. A big deal for Steph, at 38. We don’t know how many more chances there are, so you go for it. But if there’s any risk whatsoever in terms of how it would impact next year, then he won’t play. It’s pretty simple," Kerr added.Of course, Kerr has high hopes that the team will push for the postseason if Curry is ready, though not at the expense of long-term health. The Warriors have leaned on younger guards in his absence, adjusting their style to maintain competitiveness.The challenges did not stop with Curry. Moses Moody, who had stepped up during this stretch, suffered a painful setback that further complicates the Warriors’ plans. His injury came at a time when he had found rhythm, delivering one of his most consistent seasons.The incident unfolded early in overtime against the Mavericks, when Moody landed awkwardly and immediately clutched his knee. He had already contributed 23 points and three steals, underlining his importance to the team’s current rotation. With several key players sidelined, including Jimmy Butler, Seth Curry, Al Horford, and Quinten Post, the Warriors continue to rely on effort and depth to stay afloat. Their position in the standings offers a narrow path forward, and upcoming games present a chance to build momentum. The focus now shifts to resilience, execution, and health.Curry’s eventual return, if it happens, could change the equation. Until then, the Warriors are in a survival mode.
