Overview

  • Golden State diagnosed Curry with patellofemoral pain syndrome after an MRI, and he will miss Tuesday’s game against Philadelphia.
  • Curry’s knee discomfort surfaced after a Jan. 24 workout in Minneapolis and forced him out of Friday’s loss in Detroit in the third quarter.
  • Steve Kerr said return-to-play decisions will be made by Curry in consultation with lead medical decision-maker Rick Celebrini.
  • Jonathan Kuminga will miss a fifth straight game with a left knee bone bruise as the Warriors weigh roster options before Thursday’s deadline.
  • Orthopedic specialists describe runner’s knee as typically manageable with rest, therapy and load management, though recurrence risk rises with age and workload.
