Warriors star Stephen Curry was forced to exit Friday’s loss to Detroit after aggravating a right knee injury he first experienced a week prior. As Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area writes, the 37-year-old guard underwent an MRI on Saturday, which didn’t reveal a serious injury.
Curry was diagnosed with patellofemoral pain syndrome — also known as runner’s knee — and is considered day-to-day. According to ESPN’s Anthony Slater (Twitter link), the 12-time All-Star is receiving regular treatment on his ailing right knee and will miss Tuesday’s game vs. Philadelphia.
“That’s up to [Warriors director of sports medicine and performance] Rick [Celebrini], and Steph. As soon as Rick tells me he can play, obviously he’ll play,” head coach Steve Kerr said Monday (Twitter video link via Joseph Dycus of The Mercury News). “But they’re working together every day. I don’t have an answer for you, though.”
Jonathan Kuminga, who is recovering from a bone bruise in his left knee, will miss his fifth straight game Tuesday, tweets Nick Friedell of The Athletic.
According to Poole, the Warriors issued an update on Seth Curry (sciatic nerve irritation) over the weekend. The younger brother has resumed on-court workouts and will miss at least two more weeks, which is when he’ll be reevaluated.
Warriors need to get younger and a lot younger.
Impossible. Will never happen. They already messed up going young one time, they won’t do that again.
When Curry retires
Yea, never go young, always go old and injured!
Injury report from Sillivan
Draymond Green has a lower back soreness in February 1
GSW needs to stop having so many under 6’5″ guys on the roster aside from Steph.
Kerr prefers players his own size. Next season the plan is to run an entire roster under 6’1” with Curry playing center.
Looks like that guy is going in the Giannis trade
ǰ̣ƙ
Just do a lot of isometrics, he’ll be fine
Curry’s type of knee injury lingers. Retirement seems closer.
Just remember kids, age is just a number
Curry usually misses 2-3 weeks every January or February.
A lot of times it’s the ankle or hammy or something like that.
With the knee thing probably just a week so the hammy or ankle is still yet to come.., maybe later February or March. Then he’ll be strong for the playoffs with whatever team happens to come together at Thursday’s deadline.
Warriors won’t even make the playoffs.
Enough teams in the West are tanking so they will back into a play-in spot.
If they pick up the right pieces by Thursday, they’ll be in the playoffs.
Nonsense
What’s nonsense about it?
How about developing the thought instead of a drive-by?
Look at the Western Conference. The Warriors will back into a play-in. If they win a game, they’re in.
Viola, no nonsense.
Nonsense that the warriors won’t make the playoffs GaryRedSoxxWarriors? My thoughts exactly. I also believe your dubs are in the strongest position to acquire the freaking freak with the help of a third team. Viola.
Gotcha. Hard to tell on the website who you were responding to. Thank you for the clarification. 👍
Always enjoy your thoughts here and MLB trade rumors.
Now I know you’re talking to the other guy lol Love it Jackson, should be a crazy week.
Well if they pull off the Giannis trade they’ll have their big three knee ligaments in Curry Butler and Giannis
