Stephen Curry to Miss Lakers Game as Runner’s Knee Rehab Continues

Golden State is prioritizing inflammation control to safeguard his availability later in the season.

Overview

  • The Warriors list Curry as day-to-day with patellofemoral pain syndrome, commonly known as runner’s knee.
  • Curry told ESPN his knee is trending in the right direction but remains painful, and he has no return timeline.
  • Reporter updates indicate he will sit out Saturday against the Lakers, which would be his 14th missed game and could jeopardize 65-game award eligibility.
  • Golden State rallied for a 101-97 win in Phoenix without him, moving to 28-24 and 5-8 this season in games he has missed.
  • Around the deadline, the Warriors acquired Kristaps Porziņģis after exploring star trades, and Curry said he hopes the big man is healthy enough to contribute.
