Overview

  • Curry will sit Tuesday with a diagnosed case of right patellofemoral pain syndrome after exiting Friday’s loss to Detroit and undergoing an MRI on Saturday.
  • Head coach Steve Kerr said return decisions will be made day to day by Curry and director of sports medicine Rick Celebrini.
  • The knee issue surfaced after a Jan. 24 workout in Minneapolis and flared during the Jan. 30 game against the Pistons, per team and media reports.
  • Jonathan Kuminga (left knee bone bruise) will miss a fifth straight game and remains a potential trade candidate, while Seth Curry (sciatic irritation) is sidelined and Jimmy Butler is out for the season with an ACL tear.
  • Medical experts describe runner’s knee as typically managed with rest and therapy, noting it can re-emerge and requires monitoring, especially for high-usage players.
