Stephen Curry, the star guard of the Golden State Warriors, will miss at least five more games due to ongoing injuries. He is suffering from patella-femoral pain syndrome and bone bruising.
Injury Update on Stephen Curry
The Warriors confirmed that Curry underwent an MRI on Wednesday. Fortunately, the results showed no structural damage. However, Coach Steve Kerr noted that the player is still dealing with lingering soreness.
Current Status and Future Timeline
Curry has been sidelined since January 30, missing the last five games before the All-Star break. He will also miss the All-Star Game. Kerr expressed disappointment about Curry’s recovery, stating, “We were hoping, obviously, that he’d be ready for tonight after getting the All-Star break but wasn’t the case. He just needs more time.”
Season Performance and Impact
This season, Curry has played in 39 games, demonstrating impressive averages:
- Points: 27.2
- Rebounds: 3.5
- Assists: 4.8
- Three-point shooting: 39.1%
The Warriors are currently positioned eighth in the Western Conference with a record of 29-26. This setback follows the injury of Jimmy Butler, who has been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to a torn ACL.
The team continues to be affected by injuries, which may jeopardize their playoff aspirations as they navigate the rest of the season without their star guard.
