Steph Curry is in a slump, but there doesn't appear to be any cause for concern quite yet for the Warriors.
Ever since breaking Ray Allen's all-time NBA 3-point record on Dec. 14, Curry has put together one of the most inconsistent stretches of his career. With Draymond Green nursing a back injury, Curry and the Warriors' struggles have only been amplified in recent weeks.
After Curry's lackluster performance in the Warriors' 94-92 win over the Utah Jazz on Sunday night at Chase Center, coach Steve Kerr reiterated that the team will not alter Steph's minutes in response to his recent slump.

"I think we're in a pretty good pattern now where we play him the first nine minutes of the game," Kerr told reporters Sunday night. "Take him out, start the second quarter, take him out for a few minutes in the middle of the second and then hopefully repeat that in the second half. And that puts him around 35-36 (minutes) for the game."
The Warriors altered Curry's rotation plan earlier this season to the one that Kerr mentioned above. Prior to this season, Curry's rotation plan was the same for years. He always played the entire first quarter, the final six minutes of the second quarter, the entire third quarter and the final six minutes of the fourth quarter.
Unfortunately for the Warriors, Curry has struggled since the break from tradition. Is there a reason to believe the change has played a role in his slump and is there any plan to return to the original rotation pattern that worked so well for years?

"Yeah not right now," Kerr said. "I think we're comfortable where we are at this stage. With Klay [Thompson] only playing limited minutes and sometimes taking the night off like tonight and Draymond [Green] being out, it's hard to know where this is going to be say a month from now.
"That's an interesting theory, I wouldn't dwell on it. He doesn't dwell on it. I've brought it up with him ... but Steph is Steph, he's got no excuses anytime. He just plays, he gets mad at himself when he misses shots and has a tough night, then he hits the game-winning walk-off. He's Steph Curry, so we don't worry about him too much. He understands right now that we're in a strange spot physically as a team and we just have to rely on him however we can to win the game."

Curry will eventually break out of his slump, Green will eventually return and Thompson's minutes will continue to increase as the season progresses.
There are much brighter days ahead for Golden State.
