The Golden State Warriors are back in action on Wednesday night in a home game against the Brooklyn Nets. However, they are still missing the services of former back-to-back NBA Most Valuable Player Steph Curry as he continues to nurse a lingering knee injury. In fact, the Warriors have yet to provide a firm timetable on Curry’s return to action.
The last time Curry was on the court for the Warriors was on Jan. 30. He was diagnosed with patella-femoral pain syndrome and bone bruising in his right knee, which has forced him to spend nearly two months on the sidelines.
The Warriors earlier indicated that they expect Curry to return in March. However, with less than a week remaining in the month, it now appears that the 38-year-old will not meet this target.
Head coach Steve Kerr spoke to reporters ahead of Wednesday’s game against the Nets, and he provided an update on Curry’s status. Unfortunately, it appears that the 12-time All-Star has suffered a setback in his recovery.
Kerr announced that Curry has not yet been able to scrimmage for the Warriors. The expectation from the team was to have Curry do some live work over the past few days, but Kerr’s latest update indicates that this has not been the case.
Kerr added that they will provide another update on Curry later this week.
The Warriors are taking an understandably cautious approach to the health of their cornerstone superstar. At this point, Curry still has to get past a few hurdles before he gets the clearance to return.
It is important to note that after Wednesday’s game, Golden State will have just nine games left in the regular season. As of writing, they are 10th in the Western Conference with a 34-38 record. The Warriors are 1.5 games behind the ninth-seeded Portland Trail Blazers.
