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.
