The Golden State Warriors dealt with several injuries this season that heavily affected their performance throughout the year. Stephen Curry was one of those players, as he dealt with a knee injury that kept him out for most of the second half of the season. He was able to return toward the latter part and into the Play-In Tournament, but he was still playing on a minutes restriction.
Many were hoping that the injury wasn't something that could linger past this season, but it looks like all he will need is rest, according to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.
“The good news regarding Curry and his knee ailment is that this is not something that will require offseason surgery, and the extra rest he will receive leading up to training camp in September will be valuable. Sources close to the situation told ClutchPoints that Curry will have no limitations entering the 2026-27 season and that his knee injury this past year was simply a product of overuse and wear and tear,” Siegel wrote.
That's good news for Curry and the Warriors, especially at this point in his career, where an injury could affect him for the long haul.

The Warriors will still have to wait for some time to get Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody back on the floor, but the hope is that the moves they make in the offseason can hold them over for some time.
With Steve Kerr returning for two more seasons, the standard still seems to be the same for the Warriors, regardless of who's on the floor, and that's to win. There's no doubt that Mike Dunleavy Jr. will do whatever he can during the summer to make sure the Warriors are in the best position to do that.
And as long as Curry is on the floor, they'll always have a chance to compete.
