The Golden State Warriors will be without star guard Stephen Curry for at least another ten days, the team announced Wednesday. This extended absence throws the Warriors’ playoff hopes into further uncertainty as they battle for a spot in the play-in tournament.

Curry’s Knee Issue Persists

Curry is continuing to deal with patellofemoral pain syndrome, commonly known as “runner’s knee,” in his right knee. He has already missed the previous 15 consecutive games due to the injury.

The knee is unpredictable,” Curry recently explained.

While Curry has recently engaged in individual court work, his recovery hasn’t progressed as anticipated. The team plans to intensify his on-court program in the coming days, aiming to prepare him for a return during the decisive stretch of the season.

Impact on the Warriors’ Playoff Push

The Warriors are struggling to find consistency without their leader, having lost three straight games. These losses include defeats against the Chicago Bulls and the Utah Jazz. Their current record stands at 32-33, dropping them to ninth place in the Western Conference. This position increasingly points towards a 9 versus 10 play-in game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Curry will miss Friday’s home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, as well as upcoming road games against the New York Knicks, Washington Wizards, Boston Celtics, and Detroit Pistons.
