Curry Out Another 10 Days
Steph Curry will miss at least another 10 days with a knee injury ("runner's knee"), sidelining him for a minimum of five more games. The Warriors are managing the injury carefully as they work through recovery protocols. Meanwhile, LeBron James and Luka Doncic powered the Lakers to a dominant win over the Sacramento Kings.
This latest injury designation means Curry will have been sidelined for at least 15 consecutive games. The team has gone 7-12 in games he has missed so far during the 2025-26 season. The Warriors currently hold the 8th spot in the Western Conference with a record of 31-29. Their position in the standings is precarious, with the race for playoff and play-in tournament spots tightening. During Curry's absence, the offensive load has shifted, with mixed results. In games without Curry this season, Klay Thompson's scoring average has been 11.7 points per game, while Draymond Green has averaged 8.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists. Patellofemoral pain syndrome, the formal term for "runner's knee," has a variable recovery timeline that can range from a few weeks to several months depending on the severity. The Warriors are exercising caution with their franchise player, who has not yet progressed to on-court work. The upcoming 10-day period without Curry includes a challenging slate of games, featuring matchups against the Los Angeles Clippers, Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder, Utah Jazz, and Chicago Bulls.
