Overview
- Curry told reporters at the start of training camp that he feels strong, completed game‑like actions including a two‑foot jam, and said there is no structural damage to his right knee.
- He spent the offseason following a 'less is more' program that cut time on his feet and added extensive underwater treadmill work to keep aerobic fitness while reducing joint pounding.
- Medical reporting identifies patellofemoral pain syndrome as the source of last season's soreness and notes the condition is commonly managed with strengthening, load modification, and therapies such as underwater treadmill training.
- Golden State recently re‑signed Curry to a two‑year, $116 million extension, which raises the importance of his short‑term availability for a team that made few roster upgrades in free agency.
- The Warriors face added health uncertainty with Kristaps Porziņģis out indefinitely and will use preseason games and the Oct. 21 season opener as early tests of Curry's rehab plan and the club's depth.
