Steph Curry ruled out vs. Lakers with 'runner's knee'
Steph Curry has been officially ruled out of the game due to right patellofemoral pain syndrome, which is also known as "runner's knee." The injury is defined by pain and swelling around the kneecap area.
This will be the third consecutive game missed by Curry due to the injury, as the Warriors don't want to rush him back out onto the floor until he feels completely comfortable. He is still considered day-to-day moving forward.
On the season, Curry has appeared in 39 games for Golden State and posted averages of 27.2 points, 4.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.1 steals per performance.
