Golden State Warriors star guard Steph Curry hasn’t played in an NBA game since late January due to a nagging knee injury. Unfortunately, that streak will extend a while longer.
On Wednesday, the Warriors announced that Curry is making positive progress, but he still isn’t ready to return to game action. He’ll be re-evaluated again in 10 days, and will continue to miss games for Golden State in the meantime.
Here's the official statement from the team:
Warriors guard Stephen Curry, who has missed the last 15 games due to patella-femoral pain syndrome/bone bruising in his right knee, was re-evaluated Wednesday. The re-evaluation indicated that Curry continues to make good progress. He has been working out individually on the court in recent days and those workouts, based on his continued progress, will continue to intensify. He will be re-evaluated again in 10 days.
Curry's last game action came against the Detroit Pistons way back on Jan 30. He has missed 15 straight games for the Warriors since then, and he'll miss at least a handful more while he remains sidelined for the next 10 days.
On the season, Curry has appeared in 39 games for the Warriors and posted averages of 27.2 points, 4.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.1 steals per performance.
Curry still hopes to return for Golden State during the regular season. The Warriors have 17 games remaining and they currently sit ninth in the standings in the Western Conference.
They appear destined for a Play-In Tournament berth, but if they have Curry healthy and available for tournament play, they'll be a team that no one wants to face.
