SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Golden State star Stephen Curry had a second MRI on his troublesome right knee that revealed no structural damage, although the two-time NBA MVP is expected to miss at least another five games before being re-evaluated.
The 37-year-old guard last played Jan. 30. He has been diagnosed with patella-femoral pain syndrome/bone bruising, otherwise referred to as runner´s knee.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Curry will be re-evaluated in 10 days.
"It´s just lingering soreness," Kerr said Thursday before a game against Boston. "We were hoping, obviously, that he´d be ready for tonight after getting the All-Star break but wasn´t the case. He just needs more time."
