Worrisome Stephen Curry injury update untimely for Warriors

By Ethan Scott | Last updated 2/22/23

Stephen Curry has been sidelined since Feb. 4 after suffering two partially torn ligaments in his left leg against the Dallas Mavericks.

A timeline was never set for the return of the Golden State star, who did non-contact work recently, but it's looking to be later rather than sooner.

On Bay Area radio station 95.7 The Game, longtime sportswriter Tim Kawakami of The Athletic said Curry could miss seven to 10 more games, perhaps even longer.

If @timkawakami had to put a timeline on Steph Curry's return from his knee injury?

"In the 7-10 game range and maybe a little bit more than that...I wouldn't say he's going to play in the next five games."

Golden State (29-29), which sits in ninth in the Western Conference, has gone 2-3 without its two-time MVP.

The Warriors haven't built momentum all season. Since starting 3-7, the Warriors have never been more than three games above .500.

If Curry is unavailable for the next 10 games, it could mean disaster for Golden State in the loaded Western Conference.

Among the team's opponents in the next 10 games are the revamped Los Angeles Lakers (27-32, twice), Clippers (33-28), Minnesota Timberwolves (31-30), Memphis Grizzlies (35-22) and Milwaukee Bucks (41-17).

Golden State is also dealing with a possible Andrew Wiggins absence. He hasn't been with the team since before the All-Star break due to a family matter. He is unlikely to play Thursday against the Lakers, per NBC Sports.
