Warriors offer Stephen Curry injury update

Stephen Curry has been out since late January and has now missed 10 consecutive games. Over that span, Golden State has gone 4-6, struggling to generate the same offensive rhythm that typically defines its attack.

The Warriors are 23-16 when Curry plays and just 8-13 when he does not, a stark contrast that highlights his value beyond the box score. Before the injury, Curry was producing at an elite level. In 39 games, the two-time MVP averaged 27.2 points, 4.8 assists and 3.5 rebounds, carrying much of the scoring burden.

Any hope of a quick return was put on pause over the weekend.

The Warriors announced Sunday that Curry will remain sidelined for at least another 10 days.

He last suited up on Jan. 30 and has been dealing with patellofemoral pain syndrome, commonly referred to as runner’s knee. If the current timeline holds, he will miss five additional games against the Clippers, Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder, Utah Jazz and Chicago Bulls.

It would mark Curry’s longest stretch of missed time since the 2022-23 season.

Even so, Golden State remains in the mix. At 31-29, the Warriors sit eighth in the Western Conference.

The cushion is slim, though, and climbing into the sixth seed, and out of play-in territory, would mean overtaking two teams ahead of them, a challenge made tougher without their leading scorer.
