Federer said- “I saw the Lakers toward the end of Kobe’s career and he missed the game, So I hope that Curry is playing tomorrow. But I know he might not. Bad timing for me. But I’ll still enjoy the game. I was a big basketball fan back in the early ’90s, watching Michael Jordan and Shaquille O’Neal.”
