1 day ago | inforum.com | Jace Frederick

Anthony Edwards leaned over to Warriors guard Gary Payton II during Game 3 on Saturday in San Francisco and said, “Y’all tryna get to Game 6 and get Wardell back.”Wardell is the official first name of Steph Curry, who has been absent from the series since he left the second quarter of Game 1 with a hamstring injury. “That is the plan,” Payton said.
