The Golden State Warriors will remain without their talismanic guard Stephen Curry for at least another 10 days after the team confirmed the veteran is still recovering from a bruised right knee.
Curry, who has already missed the Warriors’ last 15 games, underwent a medical re-evaluation on Wednesday. Doctors reported that the two-time NBA Most Valuable Player is showing encouraging progress in his recovery from bone bruising and patella-femoral pain syndrome, though he is not yet ready to return to competitive action. The team said the 37-year-old will be examined again in 10 days to determine the next stage of his recovery.
Despite the continued absence, Curry has begun light work on the court. The four-time NBA champion has been participating in individual workouts in recent days and is expected to gradually increase the intensity of those sessions as his rehabilitation progresses.
Curry last appeared in a game on January 30 against the Detroit Pistons. Since then, the Warriors have been forced to navigate a challenging stretch of the season without their leading scorer and offensive engine.
Before the injury setback, Curry had been enjoying another productive campaign. The veteran guard is averaging a team-leading 27.2 points per game, once again carrying a significant share of the Warriors’ scoring responsibilities.
His absence has come at a difficult time for Golden State, which currently holds a 32-33 record and sits ninth in the highly competitive Western Conference standings in the National Basketball Association. With playoff positioning still undecided, the team faces an important run of games while awaiting their star’s return.
Curry is expected to miss at least five additional matchups during his recovery period. Those games include contests against the Minnesota Timberwolves, New York Knicks, Washington Wizards, Boston Celtics and another meeting with the Pistons.
If his rehabilitation continues as planned, Curry could potentially return to action on March 21 when the Warriors travel to face the Atlanta Hawks.
The veteran guard, who turns 38 on Saturday, remains a central figure for Golden State both on and off the court. His leadership and scoring ability have long been critical to the team’s success, and the Warriors will be hoping his recovery stays on track as they push through the final stretch of the regular season.
