Overview
- Dubs Talk insider Monte Poole reported Tuesday that Curry’s patellofemoral pain syndrome remains a lingering concern and “can be managed, but it has to be managed.”
- Poole said Curry and his trainers have developed ways to support the knee during the season and that Curry seemed confident he could play roughly 70 or more games.
- Last season the condition limited Curry to 43 appearances and about 39 missed games, a key factor in the Warriors’ 37‑45 finish.
- Coverage says the team is likely to use targeted workload steps such as reduced minutes and strategic rest and will monitor the situation through training camp, though no new official medical update has been released.
- Because patellofemoral pain syndrome is a chronic, activity‑sensitive condition treated with rehab and load modification, the knee’s status will influence Golden State’s roster moves and Curry’s decision timing on a potential extension.
