Curry’s return in doubt
Stephen Curry has now missed 23 straight games with a knee injury and Golden State’s coach says the team is “running out of time” to get the 38-year-old back this season. Curry is scheduled for re-examination next week but has not been cleared for full contact or scrimmaging (nytimes.com) (si.com).
Warriors medical updates list Curry’s diagnosis as patellofemoral pain syndrome with associated bone bruising in his right knee, and team notes show he last played Jan. 30. (nba.com)) A recent MRI reportedly showed no structural damage, but multiple outlets say persistent pain and swelling have kept him sidelined despite the clean scan. (espn.com)) League sources told ESPN the team ruled Curry out for two additional contests late this week, a stretch that pushes his absence to at least 25 straight games. (espn.com)) Golden State’s regular season runs through April 12, and the Warriors have eight remaining games on the schedule before that date. (nba.com)) The franchise is locked into the NBA’s play‑in bracket, and team officials have said availability for that tournament will depend on medical clearance and timing. (apnews.com)) Medical commentators have cautioned that the type of knee issue Curry is managing can require extended rest—one orthopedist cited a potential three‑month recovery window for similar cases.
