Four-time NBA champion Stephen Curry will be on a minutes restriction ​for the Golden State Warriors’ play-in game against ‌the host Los Angeles Clippers ​on Wednesday night.

The 12-time All-Star point ⁠guard has played no more than 29 minutes in any of his four games ‌since returning from a 27-game absence with a right knee injury.

Warriors ‌coach Steve Kerr confirmed Sunday ‌that ⁠Curry will remain under a restriction ⁠in the win-or-go-home contest at Inglewood, Calif. Insiders estimated his maximum court time would be about ​32 minutes.

Curry, 38, ‌played 29 minutes in Sunday’s 115-110 road loss to the Clippers in the regular-season finale. He scored 24 ‌points on 7-of-14 shooting with ​six rebounds and three assists.

Curry averaged 26.6 points, 4.7 assists ​and 3.6 rebounds in 43 games (41 starts) this season, the two-time ⁠league MVP’s 17th campaign with Golden State.
