Stephen Curry will remain sidelined for at least ten more days due to a persistent issue in his right knee. This was announced on Wednesday by Golden State Warriors, confirming that their star point guard will continue to be out while he continues his recovery process.
The player's absence will extend for a minimum of another five games. Curry has already missed the last 15 consecutive games due to what the team has diagnosed as patellofemoral pain syndrome, also known as "runner's knee", a condition that typically causes inflammation and discomfort around the kneecap.
In recent days, the point guard has made significant progress in his recovery by starting floor work. The team's environment assures that Curry is highly motivated to come back in the final stretch of the season and help the Warriors secure a spot in the playoffs through the play-in tournament. He will intensify his on-court work in the upcoming days.
However, Curry himself has described this issue in his right knee as "unpredictable." Since it surfaced during an individual practice in Minneapolis on January 24, the player has faced several setbacks. Initially expecting to return just after the All-Star break, he had to reduce his on-court workload when the knee did not respond as expected.
Meanwhile, Golden State is going through a tough period. The team has lost their last three games, including two consecutive stumbles against the Chicago Bulls and Utah Jazz, both currently out of playoff contention. With a record of 32 wins and 33 losses, the Warriors have slipped behind the LA Clippers to the ninth position in the Western Conference and seem on track to compete in a play-in scenario against the tenth-placed Portland Trail Blazers.
Curry will miss the home game on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, as well as the upcoming week's road trip with visits to the New York Knicks, Washington Wizards, Boston Celtics, and Detroit Pistons. His progress in the next days will determine his return to competition.
