Overview
- Warriors insider Monte Poole reported Tuesday that Curry’s right-knee issue remains a lingering concern and that team sources say it “can be managed” but must be actively managed.
- Curry missed roughly 39 games in 2025-26 while diagnosed with patellofemoral pain syndrome, a condition that limited him to 43 appearances last season.
- Team and player staff have reportedly developed non-surgical workarounds and treatment plans so Curry can play, and Curry has expressed confidence he could appear in about 70 or more games.
- Golden State is giving Curry a menu of contract options and has delayed aggressive negotiation, a stance that leaves his extension timing—and the club’s roster choices—contingent on how his knee holds up.
- The issue will be monitored through training camp and the early regular season as the Warriors consider minutes limits, targeted rest, and matchup decisions to preserve Curry’s availability.
