Steph Curry, out since last Wednesday due to a right quad contusion, is scheduled to be re-evaluated on Thursday, but coach Steve Kerr took some of the guesswork out of the equation.

Curry won’t travel with the Warriors for their upcoming three-game road trip to Philadelphia, Cleveland and Chicago.

“He’s going to stay home. It was a long shot for him to play in the back-to-back and we don’t play again until Friday,” Kerr told reporters after the Warriors’ 124-112 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday at Chase Center. “So it just makes perfect sense for him to stay home with [director of sports medicine and performance] Rick [Celebrini], get the rehab done here, get his work in and hopefully be ready for Minnesota next Friday.”

Curry sustained the contusion and muscle strain in the Warriors’ 104-100 loss to the Houston Rockets last week at Chase Center.

The Warriors initially ruled Curry out for at least a week, but he will miss over two weeks if he returns next Friday.

The Warriors were able to beat the lowly New Orleans Pelicans without Curry on Saturday, but Golden State could have used the 37-year-old on Tuesday.

Instead, the two-time NBA MVP was forced to watch the loss from a suite. But he got to watch his younger brother, Seth, make his Warriors debut.

Seth Curry, who signed a contract for the rest of the season on Monday, scored 14 points on 6 of 7 from the field and 2 of 3 from 3-point range.

The elder Curry certainly enjoyed the display.

But he will like it even more when he can get on the court with his brother, and based on Kerr’s statement, that should come on Dec. 12 against the Timberwolves.
